Learning outcomes
|
Learning how to communicate complex ideas is key! We are going to be learning about storytelling in images and most importantly, learning to make our own multimodal narratives. This course will be primarily focused on CREATING comics, memes, gifs, and short video clips for fictional and nonfictional narratives. No prior experience is needed. Because it is the lowest bar of entry, most lessons will focus on comics and will use comics creation methodology (scripting, staging, layout and production) as a gateway to investigate other media (film, games and digital imagetext). We will be drawing inspiration from a variety of narrative media throughout the semester. Each class, you will be drawing, writing, brainstorming, and working on both assignments and your own projects (we will do both fiction and non-fiction assignments). You must come to class willing to get your hands dirty! Students will be invited to work with expert guests from abroad in Comics Lab workshops during the semester. To pass the class, you will present your 'portfolio' at the end of the semester. 1 Introduction to imagetext, how we generate compelling images, how images tell stories 2 Putting image into sequence for storytelling, mise en scene in comics and film 3 Scripting 4 Picking the best staging, camera angles, palette and style 5 Putting it all together - script and thumbnails, storyboarding 6 Layout - classic forms and innovations 7 Layout - digital and 'impossible comics' 8 Character and storyworld 9 Space 10 Mood, atmosphere and hitting the right vibe for your story 11 How to evaluate impact and effectiveness of communication, how and when to edit 12 Publishing, formats, and circulation
