Sequence- visual narrative (Photoshop) TERROR TO SAFETY

BRIEF: Working independently, you are to choose two out of the four visual samples you have brought with you- a person, place, word and object- to develop into a narrative sequence. By manipulating only the elements contained in these two images, using various photoshop techniques, yu will develop a series of eight frames. You will be introduced to the essential tools, layers, filters, and color balance of photoshop including the difference between RGB and CMYK. The original content of the images is not vitally important: you are asked to develop an understanding of how to use pictorial and abstract devices to indicate a shoft in meaning and feeling. Your sequence may be abstract or representational, ambiguous or clear: the focus is the emotional impact of the visual sequence. You are to choose one of the emotive pairs below:
1. Optimism (1950s) to despair (1990s)
2. Disaster to celebration
3. Loss to recovery
4. Terror to safety
From frame one to frame eight you will attempt to illustrate (visually suggest) the transformation of emotions. Only photographic and found imagery must be used - no drawing.

PROJECT IDEA: The images i used were photographs I had taken of a rose and the beach back home in Bermuda. The emotive pair I chose was Terror to Safety which illustrated the rose being on fire (terror) to it finding safety on the ocean surface where water was.
