Assignment 3 - U C What I C

The task for this assignment was to tell a story in 8 photo frames, using no words and the story had to have a twist. To be honest, i had a serious brainstorm session thinking about what to do that would be interesting, convenient to execute and could communicate well to an audience. My ideas revolved around the main actor, my younger brother and here is my chosen idea (in 2 slightly different arrangments):

Rough Version One.

Rough Version Two.

I tried executing both versions and version two worked the best in terms of practicality and communication. I also decided that i will do many photo edits and artifical additions (question marks, exclamation marks etc.) to enhance the communication process in my story.

Here is my final product titled:

Tanning Tip #3: Try Not To Oversleep

So...did you get what's going on in the pictures?

I had to do quite a bit of editing work like enhancing the brightness and sunny-ness of the pictures (it was almost rainy-weather the day i chose to take these photos), add in more leaves in the 3rd frame (it was really, really hard getting a good shot of flying leaves), use exclamation points to enhance reactions and making the sun-burn on the boy more obvious. It was time-consuming, but quite rewarding after i get the final product!

I think the message in my frames was clear enough as there were no suggestions to make any edits to them during the critic session today, which is a good thing! :)
