The class started by filming the intro for the year's third episode. We stood by the side as the Griffin News team rushed around us to collect their props and outfits. This episode's intro was a "mannequin challenge," which meant the team had to hold still while the camera swept around the room. Since we weren't in the intro, we took the opportunity to talk to Mr. Brown, the Griffin News, Focus Studios and film teacher. "You can see (the creativity) here in the class," Mr. Brown said. "It's a super creative art form where they can express themselves, be storytellers, make people laugh and hopefully bring the school closer together."
