Photo Narrative
In general terms, narrative photography is the idea that photographs can be used to tell a story. That is mean we need to create a story with using photographs. It should look like they are acting but they are not. This is what I understand.
I think, the important point is that I need to know some kind of cinematography. I want to show my one and only favorite movie “Mommy” directed by Xavier Dolan and the cinematography by André Turpin.
Lights, camera angle and shots are so beautiful for me that I can't get enough of looking. Besides, the most important thing is the lights and angles. In this way, I think we can bring mobility to photos. That's why the photos are meaningful. They are a continuation of each other and they call this photo narrative.
Our priority is to decide what the message will be. This can be a social message or we can create a completely fictional story. There shouldn't be things that we can't see and create. I think there must be concrete ideas. What should the feeling be about? Let's set this up first. Happiness? Sadness? Regretness? After deciding that, we can look at the subject of our story. Maybe, my story might be about a woman who tries to stay strong towards her mad husband? I would try to tell this story from that woman's eyes. That's why I would like to take my photos with the so-called "one's point of view". I would like to create a story about women, as I mentioned in my art statement.
I would like to use "fade out" if there were certain transitions between the stage entries and the stage ends. I don't know why but with soft cuts, the fading movement slowly makes it more conscious and clear. It's pointless to cut a scene directly.
The format and photo order are also very important. Photos that will create a different feeling should not be put in to disrupt the content of the desired message.
Setting the photo order is the cornerstone of the story message. The scenes have to complete each other in terms of light and angle. If the photos are arranged in this way, our story is understood more clearly. In this way, the characters, that is, the pictures really seem to move. In the photo blocks I've mentioned, for example, we can clearly understand where the character is running and where it is because the angles are caught exactly that way.
