ssignment: Make a series of at least six pictures that tells a story of a time or a place. For this project I want you to make a series of photographs that tell a story. In good story telling setting is very important . I want you to consider the place where you take your series of photographs very seriously. For this series you will need to take a minimum of 6 photographs to tell your story. Band H photo Blog has a structure for story telling in photography. You don't have to follow this structure but it may be helpful to you. You need a minimum of 6 pictures. This essay is due Monday. Cover Shot This is the Photograph that will draw people into your essay Photo by Mariah G. Establishing Shot Photo by Mariah G. Think of any major motion picture. When a new scene begins, there is always an establishing shot telling us where we are and what time of day/night it is. When telling a story through photos, we'll need to see where certain events are taking place. Are we at the church where a wedding is about to happen? Maybe we're at the house of the bride. These are typically wider photos, and combine apsects of architechtural and landscape photography. With that said, wide angle lenses are usually best for these types of photos. The key to these is that you'll want to have much of the area in focus so that we can get a true feeling of where we are. Detail Shot Photo by Mariah G. Detail shots are photos that focus on a very specific detail that help to tell the story. They can be very difficult, as these details need to stick closely to the theme of the assignment. One example of a detail shot is a photo of the wedding rings for someone's special day. In more photojournalistic terms, a photo of steelworkers' worn hands is a detail that shows just how hard they work. Typically, these images are tightly composed. They also tend to focus a particular subject. Filler Photo by Mariah G. Fillers are the other photos that contribute to telling the story. Usually, filler shots are comprised of many candid photos. From shooting events, I can tell you that clients love seeing candids of everyone. Great examples of these are two relatives embracing one another after not seeing each other for a long time. Closing Shot Photo by Mariah G. Your closing shot is the photo that ends your story. It doesn't necessarily have to be the last photo that you take, but it does have to give the story a sense of closure. If you're shooting a story on the recovery process of an abused dog taken into a shelter, then the final photo could be the photo where it is adopted and goes onto living with a new owner.
