This sketch was based around telling a narrative through the use of different phone apps that allowed you to take photos, edit them, and share with friends. I ended up using Snapchat, Instagram, and the built in phone app of Iphone. The main narrative of the sketch was getting from point A to point B. I went to St Kilda Beach and walked on the pier, taking snaps along the way with different functions of the phone apps. After collecting a few images, I placed them in my editor.

I wanted to see what it would look like with different styles of photos placed in a linear order. It’s something that everyone does when they go on a trip – take images from different apps, either it be on Instagram, Snapchat, or photos shared on Facebook and social media. The end result doesn’t work as well I would’ve wanted it to – I should have taken more images. However, it does show the difference in what each app can do, and what limitations/advantages it has. You can add text and emojis to Snapchat, Instagram has a lot more filters and editing options, and the Iphone photo app allows for panorama photo taking.

I almost think if I had kept the phone interface in there, it would’ve worked better to look more like a narrative. The end result slightly feels like a slideshow. However, you can see the progression of shots, and again it shows what elements I could take from these apps and apply them in the future, for example the ability to draw and put text into the content I create through Snapchat in a really easy way.
