FORUM 13

This week, we looked at Visual Storytelling, and specifically the idea of "The Hero's Journey" as a pervasive mythic story-structure in modern visual media.

For Discussion Forum 13, what is a film not discussed in the lecture (so no Star Wars or Marvel movies) that you believe exemplifies The Hero's Journey? You should name the movie clearly at the top of your post and then describe in one (1) paragraph how the film exhibits characteristics of The Hero's Journey by making specific references to characters and plot lines. Lastly, conclude your post with a statement on why you think the The Hero's Journey story-structure is so common in visual media.

To receive full credit craft your own post and then make a meaningful comment on at least two (2) of your classmates' posts. A meaningful comment is defined as 2-3 sentences that demonstrate clearly you have 1) read their original post in its entirety, and 2) you are responding to their thoughts and ideas in a clear and respectful way.


VIDEO SCRIPT

In this assignment you will write a script for the Explainer Video you will create next week.

The script should go along with the photos to explain the idea or process you are trying to convey. Your script should include:

At least one (1) sentence for each photograph that explains the part of the idea or process that image conveys
An overall sense of professionalism that demonstrates the amount of time and thought you have put into the assignment
Fit within the allotted 1 - 2 minute time frame for the Explainer Video Assignment
