MY OWN SEQUENTIAL IMAGES: FULL PROCESS

 When I first saw this task I didn't want to do something really difficult. My first idea was to take photos of myself doing something, It was simple but I didn't really know what to do. Because I was self-isolating, I couldn't do much and nobody could help me.

I started to look around to find an easy way to do this project. When I did my research about this, I saw that all the photographers that did sequential images, they always choose something easy to understand. So it came to the idea of taking photos of me opening my closet.

First, I did a quick drawing about what I wanted to do. It wasn't really difficult, but notes/drawings always help me to know what I should do.

With my plan done, I put my phone in a good place and I basically recorded a video of me opening and closing my closet. Then I took the video and I simply took screenshots of every frame I wanted (and while doing that I notice that my movement was so perfect that some shots look identical to other ones).

The sequence has the original photos, the only editing I did for it was cropping all of them to 1:1 and putting them on a grid 3X3. The grid was made on the Collage Maker (suggested by my teacher).

Here is the final result:

 The title of the Image: "Hmm, clothes."

I used that as a title for a simple reason. First, because of the context of the image, it's a guy (me) simply looking for something that is inside that closet, no one knows what's inside except him. The images are showing someone in casual clothing and with no facial expression, making it more mysterious. And the final reason, and my personal one, it's because it looks funny, the reason why is just for the simple and weird presentation of it. 

To make this sequence of images I used my cell phone, Samsung Galaxy A31S, which does not have Burst mode. So I couldn't take pictures in a row in just a second. I wiped my phone's camera lens so I could have a clean, focused sequence of images. As I was unable to take a sequence of photos as requested, I had to find another way. So I made several videos and by choosing some screenshots I built my sequence of images. I was careful to make the videos in a row, so there are no variations in light.
