《理解漫画》笔记

主要参考

  • Mccloud, S. (2015). 理解漫画: 解析漫画艺术的奥秘 (第三版) (万旻, 译). 人民邮电出版社.

原书出版于 1993 年. 有现成的详细内容 摘录.

漫画只是针对形式 (容器) 的定义.

Comics: Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer.

  • Juxtaposed 将漫画区别于电影, 因为电影每个连续的画面都被投射在同一个空间上, 而漫画的每个画面占据不同空间.
  • Pictorial images 将文字排除在外, 因为文字也可以视为静态图片 (static images).

漫画画面中的详略处理: 简化人物, 使读者代入, 并突出角色本身传达的信息. 详见开头摘录链接.

Ch. 7 The six steps

作者的艺术定义非常宽泛

Art: Any human activity which doesn’t grow out of either of our species’ 2 basic instincts: survival & reproduction.

  1. Idea/purpose: The impluse, the ideas, the emotions, the philosophies, the purposes of the work… The work’s “content”.
  2. Form: The form it will take… Will it be a book? A chalk drawing? A chair? A song? A sculpture? A comic book?
  3. Idiom (风格): The “school” of art, the vocabulary of styles or gestures or subject matter, the genre that the work belongs to… Maybe a genre of its own.
  4. Structure: Putting it all together… What to include, what to leave out… How to arrange, how to compose the work.
  5. Craft: Constructing the work, applying skills, practical knowledge, invention, problem-solving, getting the “job” done.
  6. Surface: Production values, finishing… The aspects most apparent on first superficial exposure to the work.

注: 3 中的 vocabulary 应当指 a supply of expressive techniques or devices (as of an art form)
