Assignment 3: Visual Story
Initially, i wanted to use individual objects and scene to suggest a portion of the entire story without any repetition of the same scene hence the lack of continuation of the same scenes. I want viewers to piece together the various scenes to depict a story. I also played around with the angles but had limitations with on site lighting as i took the photos at night .. in line with the setting of the plot. Some commented that i should not have cut or chop up some body parts of the characters... but i was thinking of giving the photo a certain mysterious element, that was why i took the photos that way .. but maybe i can still include mystery into the photo without cutting off parts of the body from the picture... a classmate also suggested that i use a harsher lighting using photoshop to emphasize on the ominous feeling.
I came up with 2 storylines with a twist.. the first involves a kidnapping (rough sketches will be posted when my scanner decides to work again..) .. the first few scenes depict a man following a little girl at the void deck and entering the same lift with her before kidnapping her and accidentally leaving her handbag behind in the lift... and the next scene was of her with her mouth muffled and hands tied behind her back in the car boot. The final scenes shows her awaking from her nightmare... and having a very anticlimax-ed facial expression as all was just a stupid dream. But after thinking of the props and difficulties in photographing the various scenes.. i decided on the second storyline....
The final storyline involved similar elements from the first storyline ... the first few scenes depict a someone following a girl in the void deck... and this person stops the elevator door abruptly and surprised/shocked the girl... who realises that it was just her boyfriend giving her a late v-day surprise... and its happily ever after....
these are my initial sketches...
While compiling the photographs in my portfolio, I've decided to exclude the first photograph as it does not seem to fall into place with the rest of the photographs. Not only is the first photo blur, it also seems to be of a different tone compared to the rest, which has a yellowish tinge. It does not seem right to give the photo a yellowish orange hue just to blend it in with the rest as the trees behind will look unnatural. Hence I've decided to exclude it in the final portfolio.
