Narratives Stage 1

For this assignment. we had to work in groups of about 4 people and create a short project that covered different forms of narration.
for this assignment we had to create a video footage of our choice using just still images and through these image sequences we were to make the final footage. we had to consider a lot for this pieces from the contents and narrative of each image or image sequence to the pacing, timing and even light levels.
my group consisted of three other guys and we started off our work just very simply taking stills of us walking around town,we had a lot of movement and few images and this demonstrated a jumping/ delaying effect in the footage. so we scraped that work and started fresh. we slowed down our movement and took more images in the timing. this created more of a flowing effect in our work that of which is produced in filming.
our work started as just being footage of ourselves, and showing motion and movement, we started discussing and developing ideas that each other had, we through that it would be a good idea not to just take stills of people but also inanimate objects.so as we were going around town taking pictures we was looking in shops and around at other people for inspiration. we stumbled upon the pound shop in the town square and we brought a cheap chess and domino's set and we started to animate them.we were in town for a few hours, and after all the work and having fun we had done, we found ourselves very tired and hungry. so off to the student union we when. Will got himself a burger and we through it would be funny if we filmed him while he ate. and made it look like the burger ate itself. next stop was upstairs to get a pint, yet another chance to try out our filming skills, the pints looked like they drank themselves, these two image sequences illustrated that we were studied and it let you in to a part of the student life and best of all it was great fun doing it while we was taking the image
