Assignment 3

Assignment 3 was to create a visual story with a twisted ending via 10 photos, and easy as it sounds, it is a DAMN HARD assignment.

You could have alot of interesting ideas but time and space (10 pictures) constraint can easily dump away half of your ideas. The other half is dumped due to character constraints (not being able to find people to help out with your story).

The other difficulties I had met with was constructing the flow of the story. Because the story was to be shot in still images, the flow you get from motion is not there. So this results in you having to construct and organise your individdual frames very carefully.

But despite the difficulties, I had real fun overall!

Check out my story below:










Comments received:

- Nice twist

- The switch of photo orientation is weird. I should keep to the 6" X 4" frame.

- The guys looked more like bubbies than "lovers". Some even recommended that I make the look more gay, for instance, getting one of the guys to hold a sling bag. But I didnt want to overdo stuffs, as much as it might add to the visual effects. I don't think it is very nice to stereotype the homosexuals.

So I guess I would just be going to change the guy's red top to pink :)

More comments welcomed!
