Technique - Sequencing

Sequencing

A serial arrangement in which things follow in logical order or a recurrent pattern - stitching multiple images together and it is a form of time-lapse photography. 

HOW CAN I ACHIEVE A PHOTO-SEQUENCE:
1. Tripod
2. Fast shutter speed
3. Manual camera settings
4. Manual focus
5. No camera shake
6. Direct the shoot
7. Photo-editing software

My images:

This sequence of photos show Katy walking past the camera. These images were shot at F8, ISO100, 1/180, which were the appropriate settings. I asked my subject to walk continually past the camera at a slow pace so I could do a burst shoot of her. I feel this was a successful shoot because I have achieved a simple sequence, I had to make it simple so that the editing process is easy for my first attempt. The shoot for these images consisted of me telling my subject what to do, I did get her to walk past the camera twice as the first time did not go well because when looking at them as a sequence it did not look right.

HOW TO:

1. Drag all photos of broken down sequence into photoshop and make sure they are in order of first to last

2. Go onto second image of sequence and press command a, command c

3. Go back onto first image a press command v for the second image to be pasted onto the first image

4. Create mask and fill in black

5. Use the brush tool and make sure the brush colour is white and go over where you think the second sequence image would be

5. Repeat this for all images

This is my final sequence edit, the outcome was good as she is seen walking past the camera and she's walking slightly further away. This is a very basic and simple sequence which is a good starting point because now I know how to edit a sequence, I can create better and more interesting sequences. I like how this image looks seamless and is presented really well. I believe I have done well on this task as I have achieved a basic sequence. 

PROGRESSION:
This is an interesting technique and I am glad I have learned this for future use. But I don't think I will be pursuing this for my personal investigation because i'm still figuring out what I want to concentrate on but I know that this won't be a technique I am going to use.
