What If? - Year 9 Industrial Technology Multimedia
Everyone has probably heard of the animation company Pixar. They have created some of the most popular animated movies in the world. These animated films include:
- Toy Story
- Luca
- Onward
- Cars
- Finding Nemo
- Monsters Inc
Industrial Technology Multimedia students have spent the beginning of this term working though the same process that Pixar storytellers go through in order to come up with the idea for their feature length films and their short films.
They have been exploring the idea of What If… to get their creative juices flowing. What if questions pique curiosity and inspire people to imagine alternate realities.
They were challenged to come up with their own what if questions which hopefully they will turn into a short film as the unit progresses. To start with they had to come up with ten “What if” questions
Here are some of the questions that they come up with:
- What if a patient in a coma had to travel through their forgotten memories in order to wake up? - Alannah
- What if anime existed in the real world? - Travis
- What if the past and present timelines began to merge? - Xander
- What if superpowers actually exist and only a small group of people have them but they keep it a secret and nobody knows they exist because they made sure to get rid of any evidence that they are a person? - Talena
- What if Animals ate humans and they ruled the world? - Cooper
- What if animals could speak English? - Isaiah
- What if a horse and a shark liked each other? - Andrew
- What if trains could breakdance? - Nathaniel
- What if humans could fly? - Rayden
- What if an old man got to spend 1 day as a kid again? - Alexus
- What if life was a simulation game? Joshua
- What if you could control time? Jayden
- What if you were reincarnated and you could remember everything, but every time you remember your past life you could die? - Epenesa
- What if video games didn’t exist? - Eidrian
- What if there were no oceans? - Antonio
Students then had to choose three of their questions and create an Adobe Spark video that provided answers to them. You can check out some of their answers by clicking here.
