Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and\/or to produce an aesthetic response to the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Observing parts but perceiving the whole. Closure is an agent of change\/time\/motion in the medium of comics and the viewer is a willing collaborator. An example of closure that Scott McCloud gives is how in one panel that he is in, the viewer thinks that his comic form has legs even though they are cut off from the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The space between the panels. They fracture time and space in comics. Gutters are what gives us a sense that time has passed in comics<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simple transition where time and space has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example is a person’s eyes open in one panel and then closed in the next<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A transitions where a single subject progresses through a single movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
i.e panels showing a baseball player hitting a ball<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transition that stays within a specific scene or idea and calls for more reader involvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
i.e a murder scene but you don’t see the actual murder but guess that it did happen because of the sound effects<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transitions that take place across significant distances of space and time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
i.e “Ten Years Later”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shows different aspects occurring simultaneously within a scene to show a place, idea, or mood rather than time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i.e one panel shows a woman cooking, then the next shows a pot on the stove<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transitions that have no logical relationship but still have some sort of meaning or resonance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i.e a panel showing a spaceship and then the next panel is showing a fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a panel runs off the page edge and doesn’t contain time, thus time escapes and a mood is set. Many Japanese manga use this to set the mood<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The motion lines that represent objects moving through space and are very important in action and superhero comic<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An image used to represent a person place, thing, or idea. Amplification through simplification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
i.e a smiley face to represent happiness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mixing or blurring of the senses so that disparate information and concepts are received together as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combinations where pictures illustrate but don’t significantly add to a largely complete text<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combinations where words do little more than add a soundtrack to a visually told sequence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panels in which both words and pictures send essentially the same image<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combination where words amplify or elaborate an image or vice versa<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combinations where words and pictures seem to follow very different courses without intersecting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where words are treated as integral parts of the picture<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Combination where words and pictures go hand in hand to convey an idea that neither could convey alone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Idea\/Purpose<\/strong>: The impulses, ideas, philosophies, and purposes of the work’s content. So why does the comic exist? What is it trying to tell or convey to the audience?
