A story in 7 photos
Over the weekend I did my best to tell an interesting and unique story through a minimum of 7 photos. Below you can see what my outcome was. I took 7 photos of a combination of my own drawings, and my pet rabbit to create the illusion that my average sized rabbit was a giant monster rabbit attacking a village for carrots.
The photos were taken in my home and I used an online photo editor to create the collage effect. I chose to add a small amount of writing just to ensure that there was a basic idea of what the story entailed.
When I first received this task I thought it would be a rather simple one, however I was completely wrong. I personally found it quite challenging at first to limit a story down to seven photos that would successfully portray the tale I had in mind.
I eventually decided to select three photos, a beginning, middle and an end. Once I had these photos I added the 'scenes' I preferred to fill the story. I made a list of seven scenes and then began to draw my 'sets’ as it were. Once I had done this it was just a case of getting my rabbit to pose for the camera.
The story board did not turn out exactly how I'd planned due to a lack of materials and funding. I am however on the whole pleased with my work as I think it is quite creative and illustrates my personality effectively. I thoroughly enjoyed this task as it was different and involved thinking out side of the box.
