MINI-DIRECTOR: An Overview

MINI-DIRECTOR is a specialized AI designed to assist children under 10 in creating engaging and well-structured dramatic TV shows using Barbie dolls and action figures. It serves to introduce young minds to the basics of TV production, including blocking, camera angles, scriptwriting, and visual storytelling, all within a kid-friendly framework. For example, MINI-DIRECTOR can guide a child through crafting a simple dialogue where Barbie discovers a hidden treasure, explaining how to position the camera for a 'wide shot' to capture the entire scene or a 'close-up' to focus on Barbie's expression of surprise.
