This week is our submission for our I am AMPLIFIER GIF, check out my previous post if you are interested!! However, on this post we are gonna discuss on the new project "Photo novel".
A photo novel is a form of sequential storytelling that uses photographs rather than illustrations. It is somehow kind of similar to comic and graphic novel, but of course each of it has it very own differences. Thus, we are to research on this on our own.
In this project, we are to experiments with different genre’s narrative techniques and tropes to tell a story inspired by and starring an outsider.
Narrative technique
Method or combination of methods used to communicate a narrative. Most of the time in the form of melodrama, allegory or metaphor.
example: the use of staircase to represent success.
Tropes
Something that recurs within a genre, the plot or story line that surrounds it.
example: rags to riches or innocent persecuted
Outsider
Individual whose thoughts or behaviors don't conform to the norm. (rebel/misfit/quirky)
example: an environmentalist that doesn't believe in recycling.
Before the next class, we are to research and read up the articles that are available on blackboard as I believe it would help me to figure out how I would want to execute mine.
