WK2_Types of Transition

Today our class is taught with the various types of panel-to-panel transition, and I think it's really amazing. It is something that I’ve neither thought of nor pay attention to when I read comics.

According to Scott McCloud's, there are 6 categories of panel-to-panel transitions.

And here are the types of transition my group discussed during lesson with the help of the following pictures provided for class exercise 2...

TRANSITION 1

[Moment-to-moment]

I guess it's quite obvious the stages progress very slowly and requires very little closure for us to associate on what is happening.

TRANSITION 2

[Action-to-action]

The action-to-action transitions feature a single subject in distinct action-to-action progressions.

I think moment-to-moment and action-to-action is rather similar but action seems to portray instantly rather than “slow motion” by identifying every moment. (You can compare the image for Moment with Action)

TRANSITION 3

[Subject-to-subject]

The panels-to-panels still stays within a scene or an idea, which requires considerably degree of reading involvement to render these transitions meaningful.

But if you compare action with subject transition, I think closure is required more for subject transition compared to action.

TRANSITION 4

[Scene-to-scene]

One of the example done with the pictures given for the exercise, but I'm not really sure if this work correctly. I am trying to show the transportation in time, from morning to night. I think it's a little difficult to relate the frames together for a story without text. In this case, a deductive reasoning is required in reading these transitions, which transport reader across significant distances of time and space.  

This is a proper example from lecture slides by Scott McCloud.

TRANSITION 5

 [Aspect-to-aspect]

As for the 5th transition, it normally bypasses time for the most part and sets a wandering eye on different aspects of a place, idea or mood. So I gave a different mood for the pictures above, hope it's right :) This kind of transition seems to be more illustrated for opening sequence.

TRANSITION 6

[Non Sequitur]

Every frame offers no logical relationship what-so-ever, and the image above is a very direct example from Scott. :D
