5 sets of 6 photographs telling different stories.

-Series 01: focuses on character development. Choose character from
one of your scripts. Avoid drama. This is where you will develop the
character through lighting, setting, expression, gesture, habit, etc.

A woman sits in her car surrounded by society. She feels pressured about contemporary life. She leaves her car and walks out of the city laughed and pointed at. She moves forward head held high. She comes along some railroad tracks and listens to the sound of the herds of people moving. She moves on away to nature and sheds her city clothes for those of her heritage of the native culture. She crosses paths barefoot rejoining with the earth.

Follow the journey of a doll and its love by its owner.


-Series 02: Create a simple narrative. (Read "Building the Story Line"
I will send soon) Set-up, Confrontation, Resolution. Once again
choose topic from one of your likely scripts. Remember you are
conveying the story through every element within the frame.

News cast room of this just in special report. Zombies are on the rise and he world is coming to an end. Reports roll in to the anchor and the subtext next to him counter minds what he is saying. Man sits panicking as the sounds of people dying rise around him, and then zombies over take him at his booth.


-Series 03: Produce a series of stills that convey a powerful sense of
time. A man waiting on death row, an accident. Focus on either
expanded or compressed moment.

An old man sits fishing on a long day. They catch nothing through the morning. They break for lunch and sit under a lone tree to eat. The old man stairs at his sandwich and talks of the first time he saw the birth of autumn only to see the child is listening to ear phones.



-Series 04: Produce a series of stills that convey a powerful sense of
place.


A homeless person sleeping on the streets. Cleans up others refuge taking care of the city. He is shunned, objects thrown at him. Still he moves on stoically.


-Series 05: Produce a series of stills that convey a powerful sense of
tone/mood/emotion.

Girl works hard at making a lovely diner for two. She toils and puts hr heart into the process. She sets the table throwing down rose petals for her other. She lights candles and adjusts the lights in the room to set the mood. She looks at her watch and realizes the time and checks her messages. Her parents are not going to be able to make it for dinner that night. Bridge club came up so they wouldn’t be able to make it for her birthday.
