Introducion to sequential images

                                                Sequential images - introduction

In todays lesson we have discussed about sequential images. Those are images that follow each other in logical order. In photography than can be used to show motion, movement, action, or narrative. 

Here I show some examples of modern sequential images, one of them are storyboards which I found interesting. The idea of storyboarding originated in the entertainment industry.

A storyboard is a visual communication tool that is used to pre-visualize projects in a variety of contexts, including business (group brainstorming), advertising agencies (campaign planning), animation, motion graphics, interactive media, websites (such as sitemaps, navigation links), product design, film, and theatrical productions. The use of storyboards may be traced back to animator Webb Smith's work at the Walt Disney studio in the 1930s, when films like Steamboat Willie were being developed (1928). In the advertising industry, the storyboard artist is known as a visualizer and works as a freelancer for art directors. Storyboards are frequently used to present ideas in a clear and concise manner. 

Here I found example of a storyboard when creating an application:

                                         Creating application storyboard (Meyer, 2016)



The goal of this storyboard is to show each screen in the app or website. We don't need to include details. Just show the main actions on each page. Also we can add a not which screen each button or links takes you to. Also numerically represent each image and write a note text to each button on link.

Here I show you another example of sequential images - in this case food:

This image shows us the 'process' of eating donut, while we don't see any person 

In my opinion sequential images like storyboards will be useful during my course of Media, especially when I will be creating the video. I can use them for creating sketch of my future project.
