Introduction to Visual Narratives

This module introduces us to narrative and storytelling positives; we looked at what we will be covering for this part of our course and what learning outcomes are expected of us, as well as shaping us up for assessments. Next, we will be assessing the idea of narratology and how narrative reflects photography. Results of this, will endeavour us to recognise the narratives we will read in photographic projects/photographs in hope to achieve our visual narrative projects.

After our introduction we was instructed to take photos of each other to get a feel of the camera and lighting

Week two – Introduction to Photography

Photography is everywhere in our day-to-day lives we actively see photography such as art and documentation

Camera Basics

Exposure -refers to how much light is captured within a cameras sensor, this is why we can see shadows and highlights etc depending on the brightness of the exposure

Aperture – is how open a camera lens appears, results of this indicate how much light enters the camera

ISO – the art of a cameras sensors sensitivity to light, this then indicates how much noise levels and brightness a photograph will obtain.

For this task we was learning how to identify shutter speed and how to take low and high shutter speed images, when you shoot on low shutter speed the camera sensor is exposed to light during longer periods anything that moves even slightly moves is blurred this is what we call motion blur.

High shutter speed

Low shutter
