THE 4 SHOT MONTAGE : CREATING A VISUAL NARRATIVE

Updated: Oct 22, 2018


The above image contains 4 photos that I captured on the steps of Sydney's Opera House. Montage is a word from French Cinema editing meaning assemblage.


Film makers use Story Board Montages as a visual reference for camera set ups.






You have a range of shot compositions to choose from:



PHOTO TEAM ASSIGNMENT

Steps

1. Work out your story first - keep the visual narrative simple - you only have 4 images

2. Find a location - look for high contrast light & shade

3. Photograph the scenes in colour- decide the type of shot best to highlight your dramatic narrative

4. Convert to Black & White

5. Crop if necessary

6. Make a collage


I used Photogrid to create the collage
