Assignment 3
Original Ideas:
When I heard this assignment, I was quite excited. I wanted to play around with the idea of a twist within a story that is to be told in 8 pictures. It’s a very compelling concept to me because we were limited by words and we really have to make FULL use of visual cues to get our message across. They say “pictures say a thousand words” but for it to be able to convey the same thousand words that the photographer wanted to express takes more than just the ability to point the camera and snap.
After brainstorming, I came up with a few ideas. The first was about a marshmallow and chocolate (because I had cravings!) and another was about my cousin and her birthday.
I actually did both stories because I can’t decide which would be more interesting.

Critiques:
I did the story with a marshmallow as the main character first.


However, the story wasn’t well-received so I went ahead with my other storyline.
Improvements done:
In the second story, more humans were being photographed and it was better received because the audience could identify with the human expressions. It was also a more interesting story by vote.

Final product:
I am grateful that my mom was sporty enough to be a character in my story. I have to say that she did a good job. My dad was also part of the production team, photographing us while we posed.
