Short narrative sequence post (updated)


https://youtu.be/eQhFjM_zClk

This is my short experimental narrative sequence. as i previously mentioned in the last post based on my narrative sequence, where i explained what i was doing for my narrative experimental sequence, my example of what i am doing/creating etc.

Process -

For my narrative sequence, i printed off silhouettes of a skateboarder, where they came from all different angles, doing different tricks, positions etc, then i proceeded to cut them out, well at least the ones i used. I used about 6 or 7 different silhouettes.

Then i proceeded to take photos, for this i shot them in RAW, where the flash went off automatically; it did this because of the fact that i was taking the photos from above, instead of having to hold up the silhouettes and then later on having to edit my hand out of the frames. In total i took 63 photos in total and it took me an hour and half to do; it took me that long to do as i had to keep deleting and re-shooting some of the "scenes".

When it came to editing and turning my photos into a sequence, i first had to convert all my images into jpeg files as Premier Pro couldn't load the RAW files. So once i did that, i then created a new project in Premier Pro then imported my photos as an image sequence; i did that so therefore i did not have to do much editing to the final thing, therefore, freeing up my time management and making it easier.

I then dragged the file onto the timeline, and decreased the timeline from its automatic 30 second load out, to 10 seconds. Now albeit because of the speed of my file is set at (100%), and because my file is trying to buffer/render all the images in the sequence at the same time, i had to decrease the speed of my file to 25% to, of course put it at the right speed but by putting it at the right speed puts in to the length of the timeframe i want it in but also to accompany the timeline as well.


I think my final full sequence went quite well, but i think for next time, to improve on it, i would make the sequence longer, and i would include more to it, have more things going on in the sequence, therefore to make it more interesting.

Project evaluation

Now that i have completed my tasks for my time project, i can now fully reflect on and evaluate the work and progress in which I obtained. Have you reflected on your progress? - After every task in which i had to complete for the project, especially when it comes to my experimental sequences, i have reflected back on them, where i have questioned on how it was successful, what was least successful & how i can improve for next time if i was chose to that particular experimental sequence. I can say from my analysis and reflection on them, i can say that there was more success then less-successful elements, but despite that i know where i can improve on them. What have you learned and how have you improved? - I can say that now that i have completed the project, i have learned quite a few new things, that includes during the process of the project also, such as for example i have learned how to take high speed images by studying and researching Harold Edgerton, and incorpo...

Time Lapse/ sequences of movement research

Image
Time Lapse/ sequences of movement research Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (that being the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, the sequence’s time frame allows making the sequence appear that it is, that being time is moving faster, thus lapsing.   An example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then is edited to be played back at 30 frame per second, therefore the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of undercranking. Stop motion animation is a comparable technique of this. Moving the camera during the shot creates some of the most stunning time-lapse images; mounting the camera to a moving car for example can do this, where the purpose of this would to be creating a notion of extreme speed. Short & Long exposure time-lapse - In time-lapse photograph...

stop motion/ experimental sequence of narrative

Stop motion is an animation technique that physically manipulates an object so that it appears to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a fast sequence. Stop motion is often confused with the time lapse technique, where still photographs of  alive surrounding are taken at regular intervals and combined into a continuous film; but also be considered the same in some faction. For my experimental attempt at a sequence of narrative stop motion, i am attempting to recreate/create a skateboarding stop motion in which i found as i was researching the topic of stop motion/narrative sequences, in which i will post the link to below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_K5wt1b03w I have chosen to recreate/create this animation/sequence because i like the style of stop motion, i think that it is very well made, and very entertaining. Before i started th...
