Sequencing Work Diary

As I missed the transition lesson on sequencing, I didn't take my images in Harlow town park much like everyone else in my class, however very close to my house is a different park which is where I decided to do my shoot. I did a variety of different sequences but as shown by my research in my image bank, I really liked the way of using a silhouette to show a sequence.
As I done this shoot in my own time, I didn't use a tripod but instead used things around me to balance my camera on to attempt to keep my images as identical as possible.

To make this image I...

1. Opened all the photos in photoshop

2. Then I put them all on top of each other making different layers- Clicking cmdA (selecting the whole photo) then cmdC (to copy the whole image) then clicking cmdV (to paste the image)

3. Then I opened the first layer and used the lasso tool roughly around where my subject is 

4. Then using the history rubber tool, rub out where the subject is.

5. Continue to do so until the whole photo is complete

My Favorite image from this shoot:

The reason this is my favorite image from this shoot is because I believe it clearly shows my intentions of this technique- using a darkish scene, I managed to achieve this by going out with my subject as dusk-time, shooting with the sun setting in the background giving me the ombre look on the sky as well. The only factor about this image which I do not really like is if you were to turn up the brightness there is still a black ring around the end sequence image as I must have edited this on a darker scene so at the time wouldn't have been able to tell it was there. Therefore if I were to do this technique in my independent proposal I would make sure my brightness was turned up so I could remove all the darker parts in the editing stages. Instead of using a tripod for this image, I balanced my camera on a slide next to the swings, I think this did end up working alright, however, if  I did have a tripod it would have meant I would of been able to have my camera directly in the middle of the swings rather than at an angle.

My least favorite image from this shoot: 

This is my least favorite image from this technique because unlike the image above, I didn't have anything to securely hold my camera, for this sequence, I ended up using a bar, which is why half way through the image, the slide begins to move around. I also do not like how the whole slide is in the frame, I managed to shoot my subject walking up the stairs which I do actually quite like as that is positioned really well, by when my subject sat down to go down the slide, my camera must have moved and therefore my legs ended up missing when it came to editing as the slide looked very uneven. 

Using this technique? 

When I come to shooting my independent project, I think this technique would be an interesting way of showing the youth subculture, however  I do believe the only way I will be able to use this technique is through the skateboarding side of it, and that may be hard to shoot if I cannot get permission from subjects who know how to skateboard.
