356 Chapter 5

In the reading from our POL book on page 185, it mentioned motion and sequence. The introduction of cinema allowed us to create motion through pictures. Cameras today allow us to take several pictures simultaneously and because of this it's very easy to make pictures appear to be moving. While taking photographs for our storyboard assignment I used this technique to give the illusion of falling. In the photos above, it's clear that I am moving up then falling down. It's obvious because of the timing of the pictures but also in the motions seen throughout each frame. I think that if each frame were individual photos, a sense of motion could be seen in the different ways my hair reacts with the motions.
