The majority of monday's class consisted of going over our homework assignment. We had to collect 3 magazine photos that told a story without words. We all put our assignments on the board and went through everyone's story. Other people had to guess the story without hearing what the original story was intended on. Some were vague, that lead to a lot of possible story ideas. Some didn't make much sense that made a lot of people confused.
I chose a story of someone on drugs. The first magazine photo was a photo of pills. The second shot was a girl just about to drop a cough drop into her mouth. The last shot was a young teen who looked very unhappy. Her arms drooped a the way down to the ground. The story was intended to be someone who took a lot of drugs and felt really relaxed to the point where her arms were really relaxed.
This assignment was tough because of the types of photos that were in the magazine. Either they had too much writing on them or were just ad campaigns for whatever they were selling. It was also hard to come up with a story in only 3 photographs because it was only 3 photographs.
At the end, Jimmy made us rearrange some of the photographs to make a really good story. It's still unclear to me what a really good story could be in 3 photographs. Would it make you feel happy? or sad? or is it suppose to only give one response to the audience? or does a good story had multiple meanings to it?
We were told to work on our final project which is to make a 2 to 3 minute video about sustainability in our world. I have a few ideas, they just need to be explored!
