5 Image Sequence

On our first introduction to interactive space we were introduced to how image can work in sequence. We were directed to the works of Alfred Hitchcock and his film 'Vertigo' from 1958, an American psychological thriller. We were asked to study the stills from the film and appreciate how a still image sequence can tell a story. We were then asked to try and take some of the stills from any part of the film and turn them into sequence. In the end we created a 5 image sequence that told a story, even though they were taken from different parts of the film. It proved alone that a sequence of still images can tell a story, it doesn't have to be constant. We completed 3 of these as background research and ideas for our own practice. our task was to create our own images that could be linked in sequence. I choose to create images that would resemble something someone of our age would do every day, smoking being a very common habit. My 5 image sequence shows my friend Tom in the process of making a roll up cigarette. The sequence is short, but it shows in 5 images, you can tell a story or in this case a process.
