| Brief Description | This module will introduce the concept of graphic storytelling through sequential imagery and visual narrative. |
| Indicative Syllabus | The module will introduce sequential illustration in media, advertising, comic strips and books and consider its relationship with Animation and the development of animated projects. Subjects covered will include the structuring of the elements required to craft a story concept by arranging images and words to create a visual narrative. Students will be introduced to; the history and development of the comic strip, Graphic novels and Bandes Desinees as a communications tool; the depiction of mood, emotion and elapsed time through sequential storytelling. Students will learn about the expression of original ideas through selected pictures and text styles — covering cinematic effects such as camera angles and lighting to effectively express ideas and concepts. These skills will also be applied into digital methods of animation production applying considerations of time and sound to the development of narrative. Students will utilize industry standard software packages as Macromedia After Effects and Flash MX. |
