Visual story ideas

I had a similar assignment, in the first filmmaking-related class I ever took (visual anthropology). Dude, you can tell whatever story you want. I could give you ideas, but it's pointless. The tricky part is in figuring out how to tell that story, with nothing but visuals.

The sequence has to be 9 frames long.

Can you clarify a bit: do you mean 9 frames out of 24 frames a second? That would be a 1/3 of a second?

What would be the difference between visual and whatever was not visual?

Thanks guys, don't worry I came up with an idea in the end, as Cracker said, the hard part was the idea, once I got that it all flowed!

If I got him right, this is a series of 9 still photos. It's like storyboarding, basically, except there's no written script (dialogue) to go along with the pictures. It can be a fun assignment.

Good luck, Inglorious! Would be fun to see your results, if you can post them on here.

In college, I did one with six panels.
