Eight high school students were introduced to the exciting entertainment field and what it encompasses during the Entertainment and Media Studies Summer Academy June 28-July 2, 2021 at the University of Georgia.
Students gained valuable skills for conceiving what stories are worth telling while acquiring an understanding of the implications of visual storytelling in society. They also learned the basics of content production, from screenwriting to digital editing. Over the course of the week, the students completed a project to showcase in their portfolios.
Dr. Laurena Bernabo and recent EMST graduate Emily Minnick were the instructors. Several alumni and faculty guest speakers also shared their knowledge and advice during the week. Participants included: Micah Gary, Carina Hance, Micah Robinson, Jordan Tolliver, Adam Vaughn, Regan Wells, Mikayla Williams and Aida Yarbou.
