Stage run
| # | Stage | Type | Aim | Min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moodboard & Style Frame | arcade | Students read six real film stills on instinct, match each to the mood it carries, and argue one contested frame — discovering that mood is built from nameable composition (thirds, leading lines, symmetry, light) rather than magic. | |
| 2 | Style Frame | dossier | ||
| 3 | Aesthetic Control | workbench | Learn to control a generative model’s aesthetic by specifying named levers — palette, light, texture — to make a look reproducible, in the context of your trailer’s style frames. | |
| 4 | Style Frame | larp | Can you lock a look so tightly that ten different frames look like they came off one camera, one set, one mind? | 70 |
