Aesthetics...focus of interest... etc. The most important part,
getting your message across.
Telling an interesting story.
With the theme Transportment i think I had a good idea. I realized
though I do not have the skill to realize this yet..
I thought of garbadgemen swinging some garbadge in the truck. I would
have put the tripod in the middle of some garbadge and let them collect
the garbadge around me and with a apropriate apperture express the
swing the garbadge gets when it goes into the truck. In this event the
truck probably doesn't stop so also movement there. Wonderfull idea.
Essence: Express to the max what is happening.
There is a Dutch artist who once filmed himself cycling into a canal.
The falling of a person into water. If you take one frame out of the
serie, which frame expresses best the action of falling into the water.
I think you, as a photographer, have to know at what moment you take
that shot. Then you are telling a story.
End so on.
For transportment I also thought of two burglars taking a tv set out of
a house where also police would pass by in the street.
What to think of the rails of trains that went to Auswitz.
You might forget the relevancy of where to put your tripod.
Thing is, we could make better pano the more we are able to tell a
story with it.
Regards Nick
