A sequence/grid in photography can be described as a group of photos, which can be similar or all completely different, which are lined up next to each other against a background of any solid colour. Therefore it then helps to create the idea of a storyboard, but with pictures whereas most storyboards are drawn and is used when telling/creating stories.

Experimenting

These are the 6 photos which I will use:

Photos which I will use to create my sequence/grid, I haven’t edited them as I like how the lighting/filter falls onto the photo already.
Then I loaded my pictures into PowerPoint and organised them in the way I wanted them to be presented on the storyboard sequence. This is because they have a good range of organisational ways to present photos in the way in which I would like, this is shown on the right hand side.

Final outcomes

For my final outcomes, I really liked how they both turned out as they represent the idea of a sequence/grid well which links into a storyboard. Firstly, I began with experimenting with the different options of how to organise them through PowerPoint. I decided that these two were my favourite ways because they show 2 fluid ways of how a storyboard should flow with its design to create a visual story without having to say any words, which leaves it to the viewers imagination to understand and create their own version of what is happening.
