Reflections
For this exercise, we were tasked to tell a short story through the sole use of still images. This was to prepare us for our first 'Digitale' assignment.
I thought it was a very interesting exercise, certainly a very important one in terms of the filmic art of storytelling, giving us the opportunity to plan and frame shots that best suited the narrative. We shot our photos just outside Quad Foodcourt and the last two shots in Webster building.
Perhaps one drawback would be limited time that we were given, which inevitably affected our planning and actual shooting. For example, I think the first photo could have been shot better, but I suppose we had little time to review our shots before having to continue on in order to meet the time requirements.
Overall, I think it was an interesting and important exercise that demonstrates really the importance of planning the right type of shots in order to best serve the story.
