What design elements/ principals were used?
For this image I used space. I positioned her head in the bottom left and the main clock towards the top right. I used affinity of space to have less visual intensity and used a rounded clock to keep the mood soft. I also used tone to show that it is early in the morning. The only light is above the clock showing the time.

This image pertains to the story by showing at the very beginning, what time of day it was and the mood of the story.
What design elements/ principals were used?
For this shot I kept the affinity low to keep the visual intensity down while she was getting up. I used the line from the top of the dresser to direct the viewers eye from right to left towards the girl in the picture. The last suddle things I used were space and tone. I specifically positioned the girls body in the left side and the plant in the right side with the clock directly in the middle. The tone of the picture stayed the same as the last since she is just getting up, the sun is still down its only 6 o'clock in the morning.

The story this image tells is a girl getting up first thing in the morning, sitting on the edge of the bed contemplating wether to get up or not. 

How does this image pertain to the overall story? 
This image is an important part of the story because it is the main deciding factor for the rest of the story. If she would have decided to stay asleep the rest of the story would be impossible. This is the actually moment the story begins. 
What design elements/ principals were used?
For this shot I kept the affinity lower still and kept it at a wide shot to show that she is in the robe. I used line and shape by keeping the shapes somewhat square throughout and also using the line from the edge of the counter to guide the viewers eye towards the apple. I also used space by keeping her in the left side of the frame to balance the shot with the rest of the kitchen.

We don't yet know where she is going we just know she is up getting ready. With that being said, she has to fuel up her body so she is ready for her workout. 
What design elements/ principals were used?
For this shot there adds a little bit more contrast to add a small visual intensity to the shot. I used space to put her right in the middle of the shot and balance the background on either side of her with the lamps in the top corners. I also used line by using the benches in the background to point directly at her, and the line from the mat guides the viewers eye towards her as well.

What design elements/ principals were used?

What design elements/ principals were used?
For this shot I tried to raise the visual intensity a little bit more by having the rectangular shapes of the mat and her body and then countering that with the diagonal line across the screen that creates the triangles, from the outside of the mirror. I added balance by keeping her body a little bit inside the frame on the left side and mostly able to see what she is doing on the right side of the frame.

What design elements/ principals were used?
For this picture I used balance, line, space and color. I balanced her towards the middle of the frame to get the full machine in the picture. I used contrast of lines and shapes from the workout machines to give visual intensity. The lines and shapes differ from each other throughout the frame. The color in the shot as well, you can see it is still dark outside but it is bright enough in the room to still see whats going on.

What design elements/ principals were used?

What design elements/ principals were used?
