This type of exploration has been around since the early 1890’s and has entertained people so they could escape their everyday life for a brief moment. The element of design uses the tools of storytelling, acting, directing, cinematography, editing, and sound to create and bring out the life experiences of the producer and director to tell a story in movement instead of written words. The creation or vision of the film “Remember the Titans” is based on people working together to make the reality of the film a success.
