When creating a picture story there are major and minor images that will be in the picture story. The major images will be the ones that are larger on the page and the minor the ones that are smaller and are maybe not as important as the major images. In these images there will be an establishing shot which will establish the scene and tell the context of the story images, there will also be detailed shots which will show what is happening at the time and they sometimes will be closer up to show precise details of the event/moment. In picture stories there will be a title to the picture story with captions and text written about it, this is so that when people read the text they understand what is happening in the images, as through some images it may not be so clear about what is happening. Picture stories are never the same, different photographers will place their images differently and will lay them out as to what images they think are more important. For instance photographers will choose different establishing shots as to what they think will tell the story best.
When taking pictures for a picture story you can use different lenses, for example by using a wide-angle lens to take an image means that you get the context in the background of the image, and this tells a viewer what is happening in the image. By not using a wide-angle lens and using a telephoto lens this will mean that the photographer can stand far away from the subject and can use depth of field to make the background blurred and the main object/subject in focus which makes them the main focal point of the image. By using a wide-angle lens it creates a wide depth of space. Photographers can also use a wide-angle lens to manipulate an image, photographers do this by when they take an image they can place something close to the lens which makes them the largest object in this image.
In this image the rock in the photograph looks as large as the girls head, which this is what happens when a photographer is using a wide-angle lens, it makes whatever is closest to the lens look larger than it actually is.
A local story:
In this image this can be seen as a person at work picture, however it could be an establishing shot as from one image it shows what is happening in this one image. As we can see that the people are at church at a service, and this is shown just by this one image. Further images that are in the picture story it has images of the carers, and pictures at work. Detailed images show details of what is happening and photographs that are relationships portrait, which imply a relationship between the people that are in the images.
