Visual Story Telling
![Page 3: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why look back?
• All new media are built on old media• Theories and techniques from previous media
are adopted and adapted for new media• As the new media grows it creates it’s own
theories and techniques • Even so, many of the established techniques
remain
![Page 4: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Frame
• Has always been a factor in media• What represents the frame in these medias?
– Film / Television– Theatre– Print– Comics– Video games
• Until we are able to break through the hardware wall it will always exist
![Page 5: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Composing the Frame
• How we arrange our environment, props & subjects within the frame can effect how the audience perceives it.
• This has been studied for thousands of years• Many of the techniques remain consistent
from painting to film to video games
![Page 6: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Frame Composition
• Leading Lines• Rule of Thirds• Triangle Formation
![Page 7: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Leading Lines
• Lines are everywhere around us. • Natural lines can strengthen composition by
leading the viewer's eyes toward your subject. • Diagonal lines can add energy • Curved lines can add soft elegance• Using a road or path as a leading line can add
depth
![Page 8: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Rule of Thirds
• A centered image is boring• There are certain "hotspots" - areas of
intensity that exist within any given image• Align the subject within these hotspots for a
more energetic and interesting composition
![Page 12: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rule of Thirds
• This image shows the 4 Rule of Thirds "hotspots" where the red lines intersect

Triangle Composition
• Occurs when the placement of the subjects (or group of elements themselves) form the shape of a triangle. – To create depth– Break up the image for variety in spacing – Create a connection or relationship between the
different subjects– Can help describe relationships between subjects
visually when used properly
![Page 17: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Territorial Space
• Consider the camera as our eye• The cameras proximity to the subject is our
proximity to the subject• It is affected by the rules of territorial space
![Page 21: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Territorial Space
Outside of this all becomes public space
![Page 22: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Territorial Space
• PUBLIC: 12 feet to 25 feet– People generally ignore each other– Alone in a crowd– Keep their private space to themselves– No intimacy

MS: Medium Shot
• Also called “Mid-Shot” or “Middle Shot”• Equivalent distance of framing a character

MS: Medium Shot
• TWO-SHOT: MS framing two characters– Intimate distance– Listening in on a conversation
• THREE-SHOT: MS framing three characters– Any more than three characters would have to
become a full shot

CU: Close Up
• Distance necessary to frame the human head• Does not mean CU is always showing a head• Forces the audience to notice an important

OS: Out of Shot
• Things can be made more dramatic by NOT showing them
• Show the reaction of the actor who IS in frame • Exaggerates drama, keeps mystery
![Page 61: Welcome to 2D & 3D Animation & Asset Production IGME.119.02](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102718/56813bfa550346895da54565/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

OS: Out of Shot (Closure)
• When something is shown to us we immediately rationalize it
• If we see nothing there is nothing to rationalize so imagination kicks in
• Our imaginations are far more powerful than any imagery
