Step-by-step guide on creating a stop motion animation using models and photos.

To solve this problem, we need to match the sentences (a–h) with the correct pictures (1–8) by understanding the sequence of making a stop motion animation.

Let’s go step by step:

---

Step 1: Understand what each picture shows

Picture 1: Pirate standing next to treasure chest — looks like starting position.
Picture 2: Pirate is small and far from camera, facing away? Actually, looking at it again — pirate is near camera, but turned slightly? Wait — let’s look carefully.

Actually, let’s list what happens in each picture based on visual clues:

- Picture 1: Pirate stands beside closed treasure chest. Arms down. → This is likely the start.
- Picture 2: Pirate is smaller (farther back?), facing away from camera? Or maybe just positioned differently. But note: there’s a camera pointing at him. He’s not near the box yet.
- Picture 3: A hand is moving the pirate model closer to the camera/box. So this is “moving” action.
- Picture 4: Pirate is now closer to the box than in pic 2, but still not touching it. Camera still there.
- Picture 5: Pirate is right next to the box, arm reaching toward it. About to open.
- Picture 6: Box is open, pirate looking inside.
- Picture 7: Pirate has arms up in joy, box open.
- Picture 8: On laptop screen — showing final film being made.

So the logical order of actions should be:

Start → Move pirate step by step toward box → Reach for box → Open box → React happily → Put photos into computer to make film.

Now match sentences:

Sentence e): “These are the models for the film. There's a pirate and a treasure chest.” → This introduces the setup. Should be first. Matches Picture 1? Or maybe Picture 2? Let’s see.

Wait — sentence e) says “these are the models”, which is general introduction. Probably matches Picture 1 or 2 where both models are shown clearly.

But Picture 1 shows pirate + chest together nicely. Picture 2 shows pirate alone with camera? Hmm.

Actually, let’s assign based on action flow.

We know that stop motion works by taking many photos while moving the model tiny bits each time.

So:

First: Set up models → Sentence e) → likely Picture 1 (pirate and chest together).

Then: Start moving pirate toward box.

Sentence h): “Now move the pirate one step. Take a photo.” → This would be early movement. Maybe Picture 2? In Picture 2, pirate is farther back? Or perhaps Picture 4?

Wait — let’s look at the images again logically:

Picture 1: Pirate standing next to chest — initial pose.

Picture 2: Pirate is smaller (so farther from camera), facing away? Actually, no — he’s facing sideways? And camera is pointed at him. Chest is behind him? Not sure.

Alternative approach: Follow the story.

The pirate wants to open the box.

So:

1. First, show the models: sentence e) → Picture 1? Or maybe Picture 2? Let’s check the answer given in the image: sentence e) is already numbered as 1. So e) = 1.

In the purple box, under sentence e), there’s a “1” written. So e) corresponds to picture 1.

Great! So:

e) → 1

Now continue.

After setting up models, we begin moving the pirate.

Sentence b): “The pirate is looking at the treasure chest. Take a photo.” → That could be when he’s approaching. Look at Picture 2: pirate is facing the direction of the chest? In Picture 2, pirate is small, chest is behind him? No — actually in Picture 2, chest is to his left, and he’s facing forward? Confusing.

Wait — let’s use the numbers in the pictures themselves. The pictures are labeled 1 to 8 in top-left corner. We need to assign letters a-h to those numbers.

Given: e) is matched to picture 1 (as per the “1” written next to e)).

So:

Picture 1 → e)

Now, what comes next?

Next action: move pirate toward box.

Sentence h): “Now move the pirate one step. Take a photo.” → This should be after initial setup.

Look at Picture 2: pirate is in similar pose but maybe moved? Actually, in Picture 2, pirate is smaller — meaning farther from camera? Or perhaps it’s a different angle.

Wait — better idea: follow the physical movement.

From Picture 1 (pirate next to chest) → then he moves away? No, he needs to get closer to open it.

Actually, in Picture 1, pirate is standing WITH the chest. Then in Picture 2, he is separated? That doesn’t make sense.

Perhaps Picture 1 is the "models" shot — static display.

Then Picture 2: pirate starts walking toward chest? But in Picture 2, chest is behind him? I think I’m misreading.

Let me describe each picture briefly:

Pic 1: Pirate standing upright, smiling, next to closed treasure chest. Both centered. → Introduction of models.

Pic 2: Pirate is smaller (farther back?), facing away from camera? Chest is to his left. Camera is on right, pointing at him. → He’s starting to walk toward chest? But he’s facing away? Doesn't make sense.

Wait — perhaps the camera is always in same place, and pirate moves relative to it.

Another way: look at the progression of the pirate’s position relative to the chest.

In Pic 1: pirate and chest side by side.

In Pic 2: pirate is in front, chest behind him? No.

Actually, looking closely:

In Pic 1: pirate and chest are close together.

In Pic 2: pirate is alone, chest is behind him and to the left? And he’s facing the camera? But why would he face camera if he’s going to chest?

I think I have it backwards.

Let’s read the sentences and imagine the sequence.

The process is:

- Show models (e) → Pic 1

- Then, pirate looks at chest (b) → so he turns to face it? Pic 2 might be that.

But in Pic 2, he seems to be facing us, not the chest.

Perhaps Pic 2 is him starting to move.

Let’s try matching based on obvious ones.

Sentence g): “The pirate is happy! Move the pirate's arms up 5mm. Take a photo. Repeat till the pirate's arms are in the air.” → This is the celebration after opening box. Clearly matches Picture 7, where pirate has arms up and box is open.

So g) → 7

Sentence f): “Open the box. Take a photo.” → When box is opened. Picture 6 shows box open, pirate looking in. So f) → 6

Sentence a): “Now the pirate wants to open the box. Move his arm to the box. Take photos.” → Arm reaching for box. Picture 5 shows pirate with arm extended toward box. So a) → 5

Sentence d): “Then move the pirate another step and take a photo. Repeat till the pirate is near the box. Take a photo for each step.” → This is the walking sequence. So multiple steps. Pictures 2,3,4 might be these.

Picture 3: hand is moving the pirate — so this is during the moving phase. Likely part of d).

Picture 4: pirate is closer to box than in Pic 2? In Pic 4, pirate is near the box, almost touching.

Picture 2: pirate is farther away.

So sequence of moving:

Start from Pic 1 (with chest) — but that’s setup.

Then move pirate away? No.

Perhaps after setup, they move the pirate to start position.

Let’s think differently.

Standard stop motion for this scene:

1. Place models: pirate and chest together — Pic 1 → e)

2. Move pirate to starting point (away from chest) — but why? He needs to approach it.

Actually, in many animations, you start with character away from object, then move toward it.

But in Pic 1, they are together.

Perhaps Pic 1 is just showing the models, not the first frame of animation.

Then the animation starts with pirate at distance.

Look at Picture 2: pirate is small, so far from camera, chest is also there but smaller? In Pic 2, chest is visible behind pirate? It's messy.

Notice that in Picture 8, it's the computer screen showing the final film — so that must be last.

Sentence c): “Put the photos in the computer. Use a movie maker programme to make the film!” → This is editing, so last step. Matches Picture 8.

So c) → 8

Now, we have:

e) → 1

g) → 7

f) → 6

a) → 5

c) → 8

Left: b, d, h

And pictures left: 2,3,4

Sentences left: b, d, h

b) “The pirate is looking at the treasure chest. Take a photo.”

d) “Then move the pirate another step and take a photo. Repeat till the pirate is near the box. Take a photo for each step.”

h) “Now move the pirate one step. Take a photo.”

Also, Picture 3 shows a hand moving the pirate — so that's during the moving process, likely part of d) or h).

Picture 4: pirate is close to box, but not touching.

Picture 2: pirate is farther.

So probably:

After setup (e→1), we start moving pirate toward box.

First move: h) “move one step” → Picture 2? But in Picture 2, he's small, which might mean far.

Assume that smaller size means farther from camera.

So:

- Pic 2: pirate far away

- Pic 4: pirate closer

- Pic 3: hand moving him — intermediate

But Pic 3 has a hand, which suggests active moving, so perhaps it's during the process.

Sentence d) says "repeat till near the box", so it covers multiple steps.

Sentence h) is "now move one step" — specific single move.

Perhaps h) is the first move, then d) is subsequent moves.

But let's see the images:

Picture 2: pirate is at distance, chest is there.

Picture 4: pirate is closer to chest.

Picture 3: hand is adjusting pirate — so this is when they are moving him between shots.

In stop motion, you move the model, take photo, move again, take photo, etc.

So Picture 3 might represent the action of moving, but the photo taken would be after moving.

The pictures are the frames/photos taken.

So Picture 2,4,3 are different positions.

Let's order the positions:

Farthest: Picture 2 (pirate small)

Then: Picture 4 (pirate larger, closer)

Then: Picture 3? But Picture 3 has a hand, which shouldn't be in the photo — oh wait, in Picture 3, the hand is visible, which means this is not a clean frame; it's showing the process.

That's important.

In Picture 3, there is a hand moving the pirate, so this is not a frame of the animation; it's illustrating the technique.

Similarly, Picture 8 shows hands on laptop, not part of animation.

So for the animation frames, we have:

Pic 1: models together — but this might not be used in animation, just intro.

Pic 2: pirate at start position, far from chest.

Pic 4: pirate closer to chest.

Pic 5: pirate reaching for chest.

Pic 6: chest open, pirate looking in.

Pic 7: pirate celebrating.

Pic 8: computer — not animation frame.

Pic 3: hand moving — not a frame.

But the task is to number the sentences corresponding to the pictures, and all pictures are included, even if some show the process.

For example, Picture 3 shows the action of moving, which relates to sentences about moving.

Similarly, Picture 8 shows putting in computer.

So let's assign:

We have e) → 1 (given)

c) → 8 (editing)

g) → 7 (happy, arms up)

f) → 6 (open box)

a) → 5 (arm to box)

Now left: b, d, h for pictures 2,3,4

b) "The pirate is looking at the treasure chest. Take a photo." — this could be when he is facing the chest, before moving. In Picture 2, is he looking at chest? Hard to say, but assume yes.

d) "Then move the pirate another step... repeat" — this is the process of moving, so Picture 3 shows the hand moving him, which illustrates this sentence.

h) "Now move the pirate one step. Take a photo." — this could be Picture 4, where he has been moved one step closer.

Let's try:

Picture 2: pirate is at initial position, looking at chest → b)

Picture 3: hand moving him → this represents the action in d) or h)

But d) says "repeat till near", so it's ongoing.

Perhaps h) is the first move, d) is subsequent.

But Picture 4 shows him closer, so after one move.

Picture 3 shows the act of moving, so it might correspond to the instruction to move.

Another idea: Picture 3 is when they are moving him for the first time, so h) "now move one step" — and the photo is taken after, but the picture shows the moving action.

The pictures are illustrations of the steps, not necessarily the exact frames.

For example, Picture 3 is meant to show "you move the model", so it matches a sentence about moving.

Similarly, Picture 8 shows using computer.

So let's match based on content:

- Picture 1: models introduced → e)

- Picture 2: pirate looking at chest → b) ? Or perhaps he is starting to move.

In Picture 2, the pirate is facing the camera, not the chest. The chest is behind him to the left. So he might not be looking at it.

In Picture 4, he is facing the chest? In Picture 4, he is turned towards the chest.

Let's look at orientations:

Pic 1: pirate facing forward, chest to his right.

Pic 2: pirate facing forward, chest behind him? Unclear.

Perhaps it's better to use the following logic:

The sequence of events:

1. Introduce models: e) → Pic 1

2. Pirate looks at chest: b) → this should be when he is oriented towards it. In Pic 2, if he's facing us, not good. In Pic 4, he is facing the chest? In Pic 4, he is turned to his left, towards the chest. Yes, in Pic 4, pirate is facing the chest, and is close to it.

In Pic 2, he is facing forward, chest is not in his line of sight.

So b) "looking at the treasure chest" → Pic 4? But Pic 4 is later.

I think I found a better way.

Let's list the sentences in order of the process:

- e) These are the models. (setup) → Pic 1

- Then, to start the animation, they might move the pirate to a starting position away from the chest. But in the images, Pic 2 shows him alone with camera, so perhaps that's the first frame of animation.

- b) The pirate is looking at the treasure chest. — so he turns to face it. But in which picture is he facing the chest? In Pic 4, he is facing the chest. In Pic 2, he is facing the camera.

- h) Now move the pirate one step. — so from his current position, move him closer.

- d) Then move another step, repeat — so multiple moves.

- a) Move arm to box — Pic 5

- f) Open box — Pic 6

- g) Happy, arms up — Pic 7

- c) Put in computer — Pic 8

For the moving part, Picture 3 shows a hand moving the pirate, which is the action described in h) or d).

Since h) is "now move one step", and d) is "then move another step", perhaps h) is first move, d) is subsequent.

Picture 2: pirate at start position (far)

Picture 4: after one move, closer

Picture 3: during the move (hand visible)

But the pictures are numbered, and we need to assign letters to them.

Perhaps:

Picture 2: b) "The pirate is looking at the treasure chest." — but is he? Let's assume that in Pic 2, he is intended to be looking at it, even if orientation is off.

Maybe b) is for Pic 2.

Then h) "move one step" -> Picture 4 (after move)

d) "then move another step" -> Picture 3 (showing the move)

But Picture 3 has the hand, so it's the action of moving, which matches d) or h).

Let's see the answer choices.

I recall that in such exercises, the sequence is:

1. e) models

2. b) looking at chest

3. h) move one step

4. d) move another step (repeat)

5. a) move arm to box

6. f) open box

7. g) happy

8. c) computer

Now match to pictures:

Pic 1: e) — given

Pic 2: ?

Pic 3: hand moving — likely d) or h)

Pic 4: pirate closer — after move

Pic 5: a)

Pic 6: f)

Pic 7: g)

Pic 8: c)

So for Pic 2, it must be b) "looking at chest" — even if he's not perfectly facing, it's the intent.

Then Pic 4: after moving one step, so h) "move one step" — but h) is the action, the photo is after move.

The sentence is "take a photo" after moving, so the picture is the result.

So for h) "now move the pirate one step. Take a photo." — the photo is of him after moving one step, which is Pic 4.

Then d) "then move another step and take a photo. Repeat" — this could be represented by Pic 3, which shows the process of moving (hand moving him), implying the repetition.

But Pic 3 is a specific image with hand, so it might be for the action of moving.

Perhaps d) is for Pic 3, as it shows the repeated moving.

Let's assign:

- Pic 1: e)

- Pic 2: b) // pirate looking at chest (assume)

- Pic 3: d) // because it shows the hand moving him repeatedly, matching "repeat till near"

- Pic 4: h) // after one move, he is closer

But h) is "now move one step", which is the first move, so should come before d)'s "then move another step".

So order should be h) then d).

So Pic 4: h) (after first move)

Pic 3: d) (subsequent moves, shown by hand)

But Pic 3 is before Pic 4 in numbering, but in sequence, d) comes after h).

The pictures are not in chronological order; we have to assign based on content.

So for Pic 3, it shows the action of moving, which is described in d) "move another step and take a photo. Repeat" — the "repeat" is illustrated by the hand doing it.

For Pic 4, it shows the pirate after being moved, so for h) "move one step. Take a photo." — the photo is of him after move.

Similarly, for b) "looking at the chest" — in which picture is he looking at it? In Pic 2, if we assume he is, or in Pic 4.

In Pic 4, he is facing the chest, so b) could be Pic 4, but then h) would be redundant.

I think the correct assignment is:

After research or standard solution, but since I can't, let's think.

Another clue: in Picture 2, the pirate is very small, and the camera is large, so perhaps this is the first shot where he is far away.

Then in Picture 4, he is closer.

Picture 3 is the transition.

But let's look for the most logical.

I recall that in some sources, for this exact worksheet, the answers are:

1. e

2. b

3. h

4. d

5. a

6. f

7. g

8. c

Let me verify:

- Pic 1: e) models — yes

- Pic 2: b) pirate looking at chest — in Pic 2, he is facing the camera, but perhaps it's accepted as "looking at" in general.

- Pic 3: h) move one step — but Pic 3 has hand moving, which is the action, so for "move one step", the photo is after, but here it's showing the move. Perhaps it's for the instruction.

- Pic 4: d) move another step — after moving, he is closer.

But d) says "repeat", so it should cover multiple, but Pic 4 is one position.

Perhaps:

Pic 2: b) looking at chest

Pic 3: h) move one step (illustrated by hand)

Pic 4: d) move another step (result)

But d) is "then move another step", so after h).

So sequence: b, then h, then d.

Pictures: 2,3,4

So Pic 2: b

Pic 3: h

Pic 4: d

Yes, that makes sense.

Because:

- After setup (e→1), pirate is looking at chest (b→2)

- Then move one step (h→3) — and Picture 3 shows the hand moving him, illustrating "move"

- Then move another step (d→4) — and Picture 4 shows him after moving, closer.

Then a→5, f→6, g→7, c→8.

Perfect.

So final assignment:

a) → 5

b) → 2

c) → 8

d) → 4

e) → 1 (given)

f) → 6

g) → 7

h) → 3

Now, to confirm:

- Picture 1: e) models

- Picture 2: b) looking at chest

- Picture 3: h) move one step (hand moving)

- Picture 4: d) move another step (resulting position)

- Picture 5: a) arm to box

- Picture 6: f) open box

- Picture 7: g) happy

- Picture 8: c) computer

Yes, this fits.

So the numbered sentences are:

a) 5

b) 2

c) 8

d) 4

e) 1

f) 6

g) 7

h) 3

Final Answer:
a) 5
b) 2
c) 8
d) 4
e) 1
f) 6
g) 7
h) 3
