A little of what is inside.
EXCERPT FROM THE STUDENT MATERIAL
Generative tools have made images cheap; they have not made meaning cheap. Audiences forgive rough visuals in a gripping story and abandon polished visuals in an aimless one. This course treats AI as a production department — art, camera, VFX, sound — that still needs a director with a script. Module 1 gives the story foundations every later module depends on: dramatic structure, screenplay format, visual storytelling, and the writing workflow that turns an idea into a shot list a model can render.
