🗂️ Empathy Map and Assumption Check

Using interview notes and audience evidence, students create an empathy map and sort findings into what viewers say, think, feel, and need from a short film experience. Teams list their original assumptions, test each one against actual evidence, and mark which assumptions were confirmed, challenged, or still unanswered. Each student then shares a scene prototype or test clip idea and gives feedback to 2 peers, receives feedback, and revises the idea before the team selects promising directions.
