In todays class we will explore the world of print and film and how it can inspire us to tell a story within our Apollo projects.

The blurring of lines

The blurring of lines refers to when different fields, such as technology, media, or arts, begin to blend. This fusion allows one area to influence another, fostering new ideas and perspectives. In music or art, it can give rise to new styles or forms. In technology, it can result in multipurpose devices, like smartphones. This blending challenges traditional boundaries and advocates for a more integrated approach to thinking and creating.

Everything we do is storytelling

We always tell stories. We do it when we talk, post on social media, create art like films and music, or just make choices in our lives. These stories show who we are, what's important to us, and how we see the world. It shows that our interactions and communications naturally form stories. It also shows how stories can change how we see things, how we act, and how we connect with others.

Beyond the small screen

Looking at storytelling beyond TV lets us explore film, animation, and music.

Each one tells stories in its own way:

• Film: It gives a rich experience with pictures, sound, and deep stories that pull viewers into complex tales.
• Animation: It lets creators freely make up worlds and characters. It often goes beyond what live action can do.
• Music: It uses lyrics and sound to connect emotionally and tell stories. It can tell a story by itself or add to other media.

Learning from apps and title sequences

Apps and title sequences from companies like Netflix and Apple show how important good design is for keeping users interested and showing off a brand.

The way Netflix starts each show is not just a preview, but also adds to the story, making it memorable.

Apple's app design is simple and easy to use, which is a big part of their brand. Both companies use these design strategies to make sure their users have a smooth experience that also tells the brand's story well.
