RESEARCH ON SEQUENTIAL IMAGES

Sequential art is the use of images in a specific order for the purpose of storytelling, conveying information or showing motion.

In this post,I will be talking about a man often regarded as one of the fathers of motion pictures;Eadweard Muybridge


source:Boys playing frog By Eadweard Muybridge (1830–1904)


Born on 9 April 1830 in England ,Muybridge is one of the most influential photographers of all time. He created world-famous images of animals and humans in motion through sequential images.Eadweard Muybridge is one of the many artists that have used this form of art.

HORSE IN MOTION
He proved that a galloping horse lifts all four hooves off the ground at one point in the sequence of motion. 
Unfortunately, he died on 8 May 1904 at the age 74.
The first picture shows boys playing leapfrog which in my opinion portrays childhood, innocence, fun, friendship and lots more. The pictures in black and white further emphasize the rawness of the photograph and the childhood of the people born during that era.  His work is very important and inspirational as it coveys that every moment counts and the little things that we don't see and as importan becasue  they make up the big thing that we do see.

''Only photography has been able to divide human life
into a series of moments, each of them has the value of a complete existence.''-
Eadweard Muybridge

This is what I will try to emulate in my own work.I will use fruit and through the use of sequence, I will portray fun and something i love to do which is eat. Then i will use a different shade as the color of the images. Black and white is commonly used therefore i will use a blue shade as the colour of my photos.

INDOMIE: INDONESIAN NOODLES (project sample)

Most times when I cook I always take pictures to show the process and the transformation process of foods. I like to know how dishes are made, the origin and what it is made of. I think this is very important because a lot of people are not aware of what their food contains. These pictures were taken weeks ago and I am posting them because I really like Indomie and for a long time, I taught they were introduced firstly in Nigeria but it is Indonesian born.                                                                                     I boiled the noodles in the sachets to make them edible and I boiled the egg. Indomie noodles come with sachet seasonings. when the Indomie was soft enough to my preference, I added the seasonings and red pepper then mixed it all up .t...

Writing 4: The voice

For this post, I will be giving an update on my writing class activity . I will be showing a sample of my first draft as well as establishing the point of view of my project. Direction When we were giving this task,the first thing i did was to look for a template for my business plan. This is because using a template which would be like a  form of guide for my writing and i found one on  Score   , a website that assist young and growing entrepreneurs .In my previous post ,I posted a table where i analysed my fruit company structure . So i reused that same structure for my fruit but i made a few necessary changes. I know my project idea is to create a snack business and that is what the template should explain but being that it was my first draft i decided to leave it that way to show it was an initial plan.

Reflection|Goodbye

Looking back at the work I did this term, I think that I have improved in my writing skills.I noticed that I have a problem with my punctuation which was something I never really paid attention to until this project. I also gained more understanding about my self in terms of the type of student i am.From this project, i  know that in my continuation route I would prefer to write exams than essays if i am given the choice.This is obvious due to my constant failures to update my blog regularly.Coming from a background where all the assignments given are short-term ,it was quite difficult for me adapt to the continuous updating of the blogs.This goes for my essays as well,in the first two terms the reason why i never finished my essays on time was because i was so used to writing essays during exams or over the weekend. so it was different for me. I think if there i had to chance to re-do some aspect of this project,i will carry out primary research on asking Leicester Market Trad...
