  2. Assignment 2 review

  3. Review: Icon “Language” Of Comics

  4. How to select transition type • It is true to the emotion of the moment • It reveals “just the right next thing to move your story foreword” • It advances the story • Not frivolous – should always ask ‘could this have been left out?” • It occurs at “just the right moment” and is rhythmically interesting • Types of transitions, there spacing, how they express time (fast, slow, realistic, dreamtime) is varied + interesting to the audience (but not frivolous) • It acknowledges that the eye will be “reading” from panel-to-panel- composition .

  5. Review: Transitions = story types Transitions that help clarify the nature of an action, idea or mood: • Action • Subject • Scene Suitable for goal driven or narratives that are of interest on the strength of content.

  6. Review: Transitions Transitions that add POV: • Moment-to-moment • Aspect-to-aspect Suitable for nuanced or emotionally driven plots / concepts. Interest is produced by how the story is told. **may use different transition types at different points in narrative.

  7. Review: Transitions • non-sequesters do not help clarify or develop plot but can be used to create atmosphere or interesting associations.

  9. The illusion of Time: shape

  10. Consider movement

  11. Project 2 Interface Considerations • Navigation • Scrolling & Buttons • Consistency, Metaphor, Style • No ‘Next’ / ‘Click’ Buttons or Arrows • No Branching Narratives unless very carefully considered.

  12. Transmit a connected series of ideas

  13. Text / image combinations • 1. Word specific, where "pictures illustrate, but don't significantly add to a largely complete text." • 2. Picture specific, where "words do little more than add a soundtrack to a visually told sequence." • 3. duo-specific, where "both words and pictures send essentially the same message." • 4. Additive, where "words amplify and elaborate on an image or vice versa." • 5. Parallel, where "words and pictures seem to follow very different courses-- without intersecting." • 6. Montage, where "words are treated as integral parts of the picture.” • 7. Interdependent, where "words and pictures go hand in hand to convey an idea that neither could convey alone.

  14. Word specific Advantages: Compress time (few words can move story foreword/backward.) efficient means of storytelling. Free up pictures (not needed to advance story)

  15. Picture specific Advantages: free words up to do something other then advance plot evoke a sense of direct experience and/or immediacy Linked with sound/s, create sense of place • Copper #1 - Rocket Pack Fantasy • KazuKibuishi

  16. Duo specific Advantages: maximum clarity evoke children’s tone evoke a feeling of “antique” storytelling traditions **be careful not to be redundant

  17. Duo specific

  18. Duo SPECIFIC - maus

  19. additive specific Advantages: words can be used to exaggerate or elaborate on an image, or vice versa Both text / image cover same information but add insight or point of view (need to be understood as a combination) Guy Delisle’s Graphic (Travel-Narrative) Comic

  20. additive Jack Survives by Jerry Moriarty

  21. Interdependent combination Advantages: Image and text combination create a new meaning. can show characters inner feelings `Internal monologue keep audience engaged as they require them to “assemble” meaning.

  22. Parallel Advantages: create a dense layer work e.g. foreshadow by having text from later scene, or delay text to allow audience to imagine response. can also mimic “wandering thoughts of character. Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y 1997, Johan Grimonprez,

  23. Parallel Contents refer to panel that precede them, , creating a disorienting sense of psychological inertia. Based on song “don’t get around much anymore”. art spiegelman “don't get around much anymore”

  24. montage Advantages: Both text / image cover same information but add insight or point of view (need to be understood as a combination) 1966 Will Eisner Studios Inc

  25. Create sound Christian Marcly, Whomp + Click, click

  26. Or No text at all Marcel Dzama

  27. Support each others strengths • Words tell • Show fragments i.e. close-ups • Abstraction i.e. show emotion • Emotional Information i.e. tears • Shift forward or backward in time • Images tell • Latitude for scripting, i.e. internal monologue • Incongruous (parallel) • Ruminate on other topics
