Logo iterations and character design
|
In the fall, Areté designers procured clients -- clubs, cores and teams in the WHS community; businesses in Sonoma County -- and worked collaboratively with their clients to create dynamic logos to help rebrand those organizations. Here are iterations of how those logos evolved to final product. At the end of this reel are character turnarounds, concept poses for Areté designers' children's books, excerpts of which are featured in a reel below. |
Autobiographical film
|
Areté filmmakers took on the most difficult client of all -- themselves -- to produce short autobiographical films. This process began in the Areté English class with a series of reflective writing assignments and discussions. Filmmakers then synthesized those ideas, storyboarded, staged, filmed and edited their visions. Here are highlights of our students' films... |
Original Macbeth scenes, cinema-style
|
Areté students collaborated to re-envision Shakespeare's "Macbeth," first studying it in Areté English, then planned, shot and edited an original concept to a well-known scene from the Scottish play in Areté Multimedia. Enjoy our students' various approaches to the Bard's tragedy... |
Children's Books, designed in Illustrator and presented as read-to short films
|
Areté designers studied metaphor, age-group characteristics, fable and story arc in in Areté English in developing original children's books. Using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Premier, our designers created compelling illustration for hardcopy production as well a kind of "Reading Rainbow" presentation in video. Here are highlights... |
Information, Documentary and Art film
|
Areté filmmakers shared their abilities in creating professional level media for many audiences this past year, from producing features for the WHS Video Bulletin, to producing TV shows in Areté's TV Production Workshop, from producing PSAs on ballot measures studied in Areté Government to collaborating with other cores to highlight their programs. This diversity of experience provides Areté grads with powerful portfolios to create opportunities for professional work and post-graduate media education |
