My Reflection:
I came up with a story for this assignment and this is how it goes:
Frame 1: One day a man gets a letter in his mail.
Frame 2: He gets the shock of his life.
Frame 3: He takes his best clothes out of the wardrobe to wear them.
Frame 4: He looks at a picture of his family.
Frame 5: He dons his clothes.
Frame 6: He walks out the house.
Frame 7: He climbs the stairwell to the rooftop.
Frame 8: He climbs the ledge there.
Frame 9: He glances down at the ground from the ledge.
Frame 10: He shouts for joy at the top of his lungs.
The story is portrayed to make the reader think that this man received a piece of bad news from the mailbox and he decides to commit suicide and he dresses up ceremoniously after looking at his family in the picture frame. He heads to the rooftop where he plans his suicidal act. The twist comes when he actually lets out a shout of joy and the piece of news that he received was actually that he won a businessman of the year award and he has been asked to photograph himself on a rooftop to signify a triumphant achievement to be featured in the Straits Times.
This was shot entirely with a 6.1 megapixel camera and the rooftop of the block in which I reside. The actor is a close friend of mine who happens to stay in the block next to mine.
