2. Line
• Linear networks and continuity lines help create a sense
of space.
Shape
• Different degrees of representational definition(high-low)
help create space.
Texture
• The levels of density and darkness help create space.
Value
• Value can be used to draw forms and atmospheric
perspective to show space.
Color
• The use of muted tones with intense color also show
space in a composition
6. Linear Perspective
Vanishing Point
• The point at which objects
disappear entirely into the
horizon.
Horizon Line (Eye Level)
• The perspective line that helps
establish the height of the
camera or the artists eye.
10. Narrate
To retell the accounts of an
event, experiences etc. whether
fictional or not.
• Essentially to tell stories…
11. Storytelling
…is one of the most ancient
and effective forms of
communication because…
• Stories can increase self-awareness.
• Stories can provide inspiration.
• Stories can be informative.
• Stories can encourage
understanding.
12. Multiple Image Narrative
We A series of just images can tell
want a complete story.
to tell
our
stories Each image is linked together
with
images
sequentially.
They build on the previous
image and leads to the next
keeping the story continuous.
In this example the perspective lines are drawn in to show you where they are.
As long as you have a horizon line and a vanishing point, you can draw anything in perspective.
There are lots of examples of linear perspective all around us. From farms to the city to infrastructure and transportation…
There is even linear perspective in the grid.
Comic books and comic strips still make use of a very simple multiple image narrative to tell their stories. The viewer is needed to fill the frames that are missing. (explain the Snoopy comic)
Story boards are multiple image narratives. Animators and filmmakers use these to deliver full stories in a fast and deliberate manner to sell their ideas. Almost no words are used, and the story is still complete. This is much more effective than creating a full feature length movie only for the producers to hate to original idea.
One of the first movies to be made. Kinetiscope.
Movies shot to film reel which is basically a series of sequential images to show motion.
