Assignment details
Overview
Students create a short video that captures how we can use images and sound to make someone feel a certain way. Students may choose the emotion they would like to evoke, using both audio and images/footage to create their multimedia composition.
Objectives
In this activity, students look at how storytelling using both sound and images can evoke emotions in a much stronger way than either modality can by itself.
