For this mini project, I had to make a sequence of images following 10 set of rules within two hours. Naturally, I was really puzzled about where to start and what kind of story I'd narrate so I did some research of other people's image sequences on pinterest where I didn't really find anything my style/that interested me. I then grabbed the book 'Blink' and found three particular images which interested me; one of Marc Asnin, one of Rose Farrel & George Parkin and the last of Dieter Huber. I particularly liked how each of these included the element of human touch/desire which linked to the theme 'Please, please, please let me get what I want this time' due to the idea of almost forbidden human desires. As we didn't have much time to fully prepare what to narrate, I was just going along with what I liked in the moment rather than having a clear structure of what to prepare. My final outcome is to the right and I was actually quite pleased with it considering the time we had. I feel that these is definitely a relationship with the images, however, there isn't an actual narrative being told. Although you can understand what the image is trying to say, I personally don't feel the story is clear as such.. Which I will work on the next time I make a sequence of images.

As a film with still shots only, La Jetee is a film which is much thought about the sequencing of the narrative. This film, in many ways, can be viewed as an artistic expressionism rather than just a film. It's message is very empowering which is all down to the sequence of which the images are in, as much as the actual subject and message itself. As most images do, there is a incredibly powerful story to be told and La Jetee really enforces the view of images being able to tell remarkable stories. There is a discreet sense of eeriness due to the fact it is shot in black and white...
