Advanced Synthesis
📋 What it is
Synthesis means weaving story, character, visuals, sound and teamwork into one clear, moving piece of media.
🗣️ Coach says
This is where a storyteller is made. Don’t use the skills separately — craft the whole piece: a strong story, characters we care about, visuals and sound setting the mood, made together by a team. One clear, moving result, every choice on purpose.
🧠 Memory hook
Synthesis = story + character + visuals + sound + team, in one moving piece.
