Assignment 3-Tell a Story

For Assignment 3, we are to tell a story that (ends with a twist) in 8 frames of photographs.

Here's how my story goes:






























Explaination:

The main character is on a losing streak.
She finds herself left with only a miserable chip.
She decides to cheat.
She is caught cheating,
beat up by mahjong group
and is eventually blacklisted...

Critique:
My story lacks a twist that did not fulfill the requirement of the assignment!! It's my fault for not understanding the instructions well..
It was suggested that I could probably re-arrange the frames. I tried but it seemed more like a flashback technique of telling a story than a twist technique. I think it is because of the fundamental storyline.
For my final, I would probably change the whole story because it is difficult for me to gather the same people and set the same scenerio again.

But for this assignment, apart from the story, I enjoy exploring different ways of taking photographs of a particular scene. Indeed, different angles conjure different emotions and determines how strongly the photograph can communicate its story.

Besides camera angles, different photograph effects can produce different results too. I chose to blur the background of some of them to produce a 'DSLR effect' but for a few, I seem to have overdone it. I will sort this out and produce a better final piece of story.
