Task 3 — Digital Triptych

TABLE OF CONTENTS 

1.0 LECTURES 

1.1 WEEK 10 — TASK  3 BRIEFING & TRANSITIONS

TRANSITIONS:
  • 1 frame = Not a lot of information.
  • 2 frames = The audience can infer what is going on.
    • The audience assumes continuity is maintained through the panels.
    • Pattern recognition.
Figure 1.1-1: 2-Frame Panels, Week 10 (29/11/23)

CLOSURE:
  • Law of Closure: Objects grouped together are seen as a whole.
  • The audience fills in missing information with familiar shapes and images.

SCOTT MCCLOUD'S TRANSITIONS:

Figure 1.1-3: Scott McCloud's Transitions

  • Emphasise one thread of the story.
  • Tell the most noticeable points of the narrative as they've been told.
TASK 3 BRIEFING:
  • Illustrate two static pictures before and after the climax (AKA Task 2 illustration).
  • Total three panels.
  • Justify what form of transition you used and why you chose that specific scene.
  • Submit in Google Slides.

2.0 INSTRUCTIONS 


3.0 TASK 3 — DIGITAL TRIPTYCH

Instructions: Apply Scott McCloud's theory on transitions and create a digital triptych, comprising three panels: one before, one during (climactic turning point, AKA Task 2 — Decisive Moment), and one after a significant event.

3.1 RESEARCH, IDEATION & SKETCHES

3.1.1 RESEARCH & IDEATION

Definition of Triptych (According to Merriam-Webster): 
  • A picture (such as an altarpiece) or carving in three panels side by side.
  • Something composed or presented in three parts or sections.
Figure 3.1.1-1: Example of Triptych — Mérode Altarpiece (Robert Campin, 1427–1432), Week 10 (02/12/23)

Figure 3.1.1-2: Climactic Turning Point, Week 10 (02/12/23)

#1 Moment-to-Moment:
  • Panel #1: The old woman scraping clouds, very dark outside.
  • Panel #2: The old woman scraping clouds.
  • Panel #3: Clouds have become lighter.
#2 Action-to-Action:
  • Panel #1: The old woman climbing uphill (full-body shot).
  • Panel #2: The old woman scraping clouds on the hill.
  • Panel #3: The old woman falling down from surprise.
#3 Subject-to-Subject:
  • Panel #1: The two boys peeking out of the door.
  • Panel #2: The old woman scraping clouds.
  • Panel #3: The old woman's look of surprise (close-up).
#4 Scene-to-Scene:
  • Panel #1: The two boys running towards the ice house in the storm.
  • Panel #2: The old woman scraping clouds.
  • Panel #3: The old woman noticing the boys peeking at her.
#5 Aspect-to-Aspect:
  • Panel #1: The old woman's scraper in hand (close-up).
  • Panel #2: The old woman scraping clouds.
  • Panel #3: The old woman slipping backwards (close-up of feet and clouds).
Out of the bunch, I'm more keen on #5 Aspect-to-Aspect because of the simplicity and straightforwardness of the panels. I also think it'll look nicer in an A5 portrait canvas than the others, so I'll be sketching that.

4.0 FEEDBACK 

4.1 WEEK 10

Specific Feedback: The panels and composition work.

5.0 REFLECTION 

5.1 EXPERIENCE

I think I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the time allocated for this project. Probably grown a few white hairs over the last two weeks lol. I liked the project itself, but the time rush dampened the experience a bit.

5.2 OBSERVATIONS

I think I handled the textures and gradients better this time around. Making Panel #1 and #3 more minimalistic (i.e. less cluttered) definitely helped make the textures, gradients, and individual elements stand out more.

5.3 FINDINGS

While I do alright under time crunches, my documentation work isn't as detailed as I like. Having more time would help.
