Narrative Sequence Narrative photography is the idea that photographs can be used to create a story. Narrative sequence is when a series of images are put together into a column and make a story. Images below are examples of narrative sequence.  Planning Shoot For my narrative sequence shoot I am going to use two people walking opposite ways through a corridor or down a path passing each other, one person being on the phone and the other person as they pass looks back at the girl/boy on the phone with confusion. I will capture my narrative sequence in black and white to help create a mysterious effect. My Narrative Sequence Below are my narrative sequences, I captured 6 images to then create a collage to show the story being told. I edited my images into Black and White in Photoshop just like the example above my images being black and white give my narrative a old fashioned, moody affect to my story unlike the collage thats in colour. I feel my narrative sequenc...

Justin Quinnell Justin Quinnell is a master at making weird and wondrous pinhole images. He worked as the Pinhole consultant for the movie "The Brothers Bloom" and his cameras are featured in the film.  Justin realised his skill with pinhole photography when he was 4 years old and ended up having several operations of his eye and wearing an eye patch. It was after his degree, he was head of photography department at a non-too affluent area in Bristol. The pupils he taught couldn't afford buying digital high end cameras so they used several cans of coke and made cameras out of them. The thing about pin hole cameras that really fascinate Justin Quinnell is that there is no view finder and it clashes art and science together. He also likes the fact that its cheap, and its anti-commercial.

Man Ray Man Ray was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in France. He contributed to the Dada and Surrealist movements, however he ties to each were informal. Media was where he produced a majority of his work but still considered himself as a painter above al, Man Ray was best known for his photography, he also renowned fashion and portrait photography. He also creates well-known photograms which he called 'rayographs' in reference to himself.  For my still life project I am going to recreate photographs inspired by Man Ray. His work is very simple and creative. he uses a black and white filter with his images to help capture shadows and contrast. His still life images are photos of simple things like fruit bowls, glasses laying on a table, a man wearing a hat; objects we use everyday.

Sequence of Movement GIF On the 5th February Jade, Tom, Chloe and I went into the dance studio to capture a series of images to then create into a GIF. I used photoshop to upload my images as a stack and then using the timeline option I loaded my images and created my GIF. One thing that went wrong with this GIF, is the people in the background created my GIF looking crowed meaning most of the attention goes onto them instead of attention on the two boys dancing. I would improve my GIF by making sure the background isnt crowed and the main focus was on two main people dancing- this would mean the m main attention would go to the two boys instead of the others in the background. Overall I feel my GIF is successful, it works and you can see clear movement, I should of made the GIF longer so we see the end where they land from the jump. This would be something I improve if I was to make my GIF again.

Harold Edgerton Harold Edgerton invented the electronic flash- which allowed him to capture things the human eye cannot see. Edgerton created a way to stop the world; for example a bullet through an apple; a footballers boot connecting with the ball; the crown-like splash created from a single drop of milk. He was the first man to invent electricity to freeze time to an instant. Edgerton's flash can burst light that lasts only 10 microseconds- 1/100,000th of a second - and replaced the mercury gas with xenon, which allowed the flash tubes to be smaller. It meant Harold Edgerton had a device that could freeze the fastest bullet. His image of the 'bullet through an apple' is shown below. On Wednesday 7th February as a class we went into the studio where we had set up equipment to capture our own images that are similar to Harold Edgerton's work. However we experimented with a bowl of water and a plum. The aim was to capture the plum being dropped into the water whe...

Unit 7- Time   Sam Taylor Johnson Sam Taylor-Johnson is a British filmmaker and photographer. In 2001, she produced a single screen project called "Still Life in Motion'. She used a 35mm film to record a bowl of fruit decaying and rotting overtime. The process she would of done to create this project, she would of captured a picture every 1 to 2 seconds of the fruit decaying each day until the fruit had completely decayed. In the corner of the film you can see a bic pen, the pen displays immortality. The pen cannot decay over time like the bowl of fruit can, the pen can only run out when its being used over a period of time. Eadweard Muybridge Eadweard Muybridge was an English photographer who was most known for his photographic studies of motion; for example one of his studies was if all four of a horse hooves left the ground whilst galloping. To prove his theory Eadweard set up multiply trip wires so overtime the horse tripped a wire a photo would ...
