Technique - Sequencing

Definition - A series of photographs being ordered as time progresses. This can be shown in a a combined or layered image. 

How to create - 
1. First decide the location of where you want the sequence to occur and then decide on the sequence you want to capture. An example of this could be a row of people and in each picture one person moves a body part or out of the image. 
2. Set up the camera on the tripod so that the image will capture the whole scene/object. 
3. Take a photograph of the background first to start the sequence.
4. Then photograph every movement/action/change to capture the scene as it progresses.
5. Upload the images to the computer and open them in photoshop.
6. Edit the curves and levels of each individual image.

The images can be edited in several different ways; in a photo film or in a row of images.

How to create the photo film - 
1. Open the image that starts the sequence, select the timeline to appear.
2. Drag each image that follows into the timeline in it's correct place and make the length correct. 
3. Save and upload to blogger.

How to create the row of images - 
1. Open each image in the sequence and change the lengths to one universal size eg. 5cm
2. Open a new canvas which has a length .5cm longer than the length of the images times the number of photographs eg. 5.5cm times 6 images.
3. Drag the photographs onto the new canvas and place them in the desired order.
4. Space the images with an equal distance between them all.
5. Crop the whole image so there is an equal frame size around the completed sequence.
6. Save and upload to blogger.
