photos and stories

"Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality...One can't possess reality,

one can possess images--one can't possess the present but one can
possess the past." 
― Susan Sontag (On Photography)
"What the Photograph reproduces to infinity has occurred only once: the
Photograph mechanically repeats what could never be repeated
existentially." 
― Roland Barthes (Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography)
Photographer is like a hunter. He has to wait for the perfect moment, to
get the capture. It disappears, the photo stays.

INTERPRETATION
 photo and film

photo (image): freezes the moment

film (motion picture): unfreezes the time
THE VISUALIZATION OF THE TIME
 unfreezing a photo

something beyond the frame has to be defined

question: you are hooked and drawn to a story

imagination: live through this experience and

open this frozen moment and tell a story about it

(Yvette Bíró)

 the first step for making a film:
to trigger an idea

My story is about (lead character) who wants

something (goal) that forces him to take action. He
meets with an escalating array of conflicts
(obstacles)leading to a final climax and resolution.
PLOT: the series of events that happen to the characters.

CHARACTER: the actions and reactions of characters drive

the plot forward. Characters create their own realities as
externalizations of their inner worlds--either through action
or dialouge.

THEME: Invisible underlying universal--controlling idea,

moral, concept, issue, or essence.

CONFLICT: Obstacles that stand in the way of the protagonist

in achieving their goal.
