Question

Shown below is a canvas with four frames containing certain elements. Create a meaningful sequence of visuals using the elements in the frames. Ensure that continuity is maintained across the frames by using additional prop(s) and/or character(s) as needed. You may choose to create the sequence either from left to right or right to left, but indicate the direction using an arrow. Give an appropriate title in the space provided. 

Hint:

Ensure that the sequence you create makes logical sense in terms of cause and effect. Maintain consistency in size and placement of the elements to help the viewer easily follow the flow of the story.

Answer 1

Another way to link the frames is through a chase rather than a rescue. The lit bulb attracts a moth in frame one, its wings already fluttering toward the light.

In frame two the moth bumps into the faucet handle while circling the bulb, and the handle loosens just enough to start a drip. In frame three the drip becomes a spray of water that catches the moth mid flight, showing it startled and dripping wet. In the final frame the moth is carried by the water stream toward a drain, escaping through the pipe into a puddle where a small frog waits to greet it.

Mark the direction with a left to right arrow and title it Down the Drain, keeping the comic, cause and effect tone consistent throughout.

Answer 2

A third option turns the sequence into a small loop rather than a straight line, connecting the last frame back to the first in spirit.

Start with the bulb glowing brightly in frame one, lighting up the dark corner where the faucet sits. In frame two, a moth flies toward the bulb but instead knocks against the faucet, and a single drop of water begins to form at the tap. In frame three, that drop falls and lands in a small puddle beneath the faucet, with the moth now resting at the water's edge. In the final frame, draw the puddle acting like a small mirror, reflecting the glowing bulb above it, so the sequence closes by returning visually to where it began.

Use an arrow to show the left to right reading order, and give the piece a title such as The Reflection Loop, which signals the circular idea behind the four frames.
