Assignment 3 - Photo Story

This is my final Photo Story. It is very eye catching for the wrong reason when it was put up for critique in tutorial. This is because I did not follow the instruction to have them all in a standard 3R size. The following are my reasons that I would argue for not following the instruction. =)

1. This is not the final work to be graded
2. Different sizes of photograph in my opinion is crucial because every photograph have different weight in the story and the sizes would drastically affect storytelling as compared to all standard 3Rs one.
3. Encourages the flow of creativity

Nevertheless, rules are there for you to follow and that is why we are safe in this land of law and order so don't break it unnecessarily or you shall face the consequences. Hehe.
I have yet ask Miss Chiang if I should change it to conventional all 3R, I have no problems with it all don't get me wrong I'm not a rebel.

A brief description of the photo story. Basically tells of a Policeman presence in the scene followed by a gangster to set people thinking that there should be an engagement very soon. As the policemen spots the gangster(the eye effect, photo 4), he runs towards him(photo 5) about to grab him for questioning(Photo 6). Only to end up in the toilet shitting(Photo 7). Such an abrupt change is being explained in the last photo which is supposedly a close up of photo 3 where there is actually a toilet infront of the gangster and the policeman simply just spotted the toilet and is running towards the toilet.


During tutorial class I think Penny gave a very good suggestion to have a scene where the Policeman run past the Gangster. I think it would make the story more obvious however I'm not sure if I would have the the time to go retake the 1 shot. I'll see how things goes.
Special thanks to Kelvin Lim who did most of the photograph to my liking and modeling as the ganster. Pauline Ning for helping out and giving suggestions.
