🛠️ Rough Cut or Mockup Build

Students use just-in-time tools matched to their medium to produce a low-fidelity test version: storyboard panels, shot lists, Canva mockups, paper wireframes, script excerpts, sample voice recordings in the LRC, photo contact sheets, animatics, or sequence drafts. The prototype must test a key choice such as pacing, visual style, audio clarity, interaction flow, or emotional impact rather than aiming for polish. Teacher conferences support scope control, role clarity for groups, and alignment between the chosen medium, audience, and story.
