Photo Sequence Project

This was the photo I was given for the photo sequence project. I did a spider diagram to help come up with some initial ideas.

From looking at the photo in detail I decided that the two figues were probably related and were about to travel somewhere in the car. They look dressed up so could be going for a meal, church or to a family gathering. After talking to some of my classmates we decided that the photo was most likely taken in the 50s-60s because of the background and clothing.

My first thought was to go along the idea of travel. The two in the photo are posing in front of the car in that classic way you see in many photos. I thought that I could produce a set of post cards with them stood in front of several different landmarks. In the end I prefered my 2nd idea and also thought that the postcards wouldn't work because they aren't in a sequence.

My 2nd idea was to do with age. I found it funny that the boy is so young and the woman so old. It's quite a contrast and when looking at the photo we imediatly assume that the woman is his Grandmother. I thought it would be interesting if the woman were to change age. This would make it confusing as to what role she plays. Is she a sister, mother, grandmother?






In each of the original images the boy is exactly the same size, so I thought this set of images would work best as an animation. Unfortunatly I don't have any animation software at home so will have to work it out tomorrow in college...



After producing these 6 basic images, I started playing around with colour and texture.






I prefer the set with the yellow-red colour change rather than the texture set. After speaking with Ian he suggested that I add colour to the boy and possibly have the woman change colour randomly rather than from light to dark.

This final set of images I will try to put together into a looping animation tomorrow.
