landscapefollowed

Landscapefollowed is a term used in digital media, photography, and visual storytelling to describe a method of presenting landscape imagery as a guided sequence that leads the viewer through a landscape narrative. The concept emphasizes continuity and progression across space, time, or perspective, rather than isolated single-frame images.

Practically, landscapes followed can be realized through curated photo series, slideshow designs, or interactive tours where each frame follows from the previous one. Techniques include the use of leading lines, recurring motifs, color or tonal progression, and deliberate pacing to create a sense of movement through a landscape. It is commonly applied in travel photography, nature cinematography, and virtual reality environments, where the viewer experiences the landscape as a journey.

Origins and usage: The term is a modern coinage found in online discussions around visual storytelling. It functions as a noun, and in some contexts may appear as a landscapefollowed sequence or concept. In criticism, it is described as an approach to composition and sequencing rather than a fixed technique.

Reception and critique: Some practitioners see it as a useful label for planning and communicating across teams; others argue it is vague and overlaps with broader terms like narrative sequencing or visual storytelling.
