Guidelines for Telling a Story

Use your formula to suit your creative imagination- avenues exist for story telling, such as journalistic reporting, sequential photos that reveal a moment, photographic poetry, and narrative. The following guidelines are for narrative.

A good story has characters in action with a beginning, middle, and an ending. Fortunately a lot of information can be given in a single photograph, enhancing the limitations of five photographs for your story. Location, time, and atmosphere aid viewer imagination. Keep standards of pictorial beauty, but pack as many story telling elements in one photograph as possible to develop an action.

1st photo: establish characters and location.

2nd photo: create a situation with possibilities of what might happen.

3rd photo: involve the characters in the situation.

4th photo: build to probable outcomes

5th photo: have a logical, but surprising, end.

 

Lessons Learned from Professors

If you go to http://www.adobe.com you can download a free trial version of Adobe illustrator for 30 days.

The other software required for this course is also available for a 30 day trial basis – InDesign and PhotoShop.

TIP OF THE DAY

Professor Comberg’s syllabus refers to http://www.lynda.com.

I have used it! And, for $25 a month, you’ll have access to view tutorials specific to the coursework of Adobe Illustrator covered in class.

I usually run Adobe Illustrator while running the tutorial on lynda.com. This way I can practice while I review. And …  hopefully – Pass this course!
