Explore and examine design documentaries, case studies, short stories, films, video clips, or collections in order to identify a research problem, issue, intriguing concept, or contemporary art and design direction. This process will help you choose a topic. As part of your assignment, you need to choose three previous studies from the creative industries. These studies may involve artistic direction, marketing or promotional strategies, design solutions, creative ideas, and more. You have the freedom to consider art, design, and creative perspectives while selecting your precedent studies, and they should be relevant to your chosen topic.

Design, compose & illustrate your visual ideas in the form of a storyboard which will be used tocreate your video. A storyboard is a stage by stage, graphic/illustrative representation how your video will unfold. There are many ways to create a storyboard and there is no fixed format. But a typical storyboard will have a visual frame and some notes about what is happening in the video and may contain secondary symbols or notes about the type of shot, angles et cetera. Storyboards are essential especially among designers to determine the semiotics of the visuals. Do consider how the visuals will communicate with the audience, how the designer would want the visuals to be presented to the audience or how the visuals would inform, evoke, provoke or entertain the audience. Hence, composition based on applied design principles will be useful !!!

Students will get into groups (5-6 members) and create a video with a proposal. Based on theexperiences gained from the two (2) previous assignments (Task 1 & 2), students will share, discuss,find an interesting topic, conduct research, and narrow down to a single problem question o rspecific hypotheses (theoretical statements) based on an interesting concept. Once those are inplace, next step would be to create a detailed proposal based on your findings including astoryboard similarly to the previous assignment. Students are required to create a conceptual oran abstract interpretation of the findings or meaning of the story using 2 dimensional or 3dimensional medium/media and animating them using techniques like, stop motion, time-lapse orusing photographic/video special effects (such as green screen, costume design & make-up).
