Winsor Mccay: The Father Of Animation

The last stages of our product still required us to select the top twenty-four pictures (or less) that best represented our narrative. Next, we had to edit these pictures, adjusting their brightness, value, saturation, warmth, tint, etc. to allow our photos to better fit together as a unit. We also chose to edit pictures in a way that may show the mood of the story. We slightly increased the warmth, and value of the images to create a lighter, and happier feeling throughout the narrative. Adding music, to our product also allowed us to develop the mood.

(1st Slide) Distinctively Visual Distinctively Visual ideas in text have the power to provoke reactions from the responders.

For example, the video uses logos by “making an inductive leap” by having the viewer “use specific observations as the basis of a general conclusion” (Austin 656). The video illustrates how almost every news station reports on stories by following a common sequence. The report has a general overview of the information, then they provide footage, witnesses, a reporter live at the scene, statistics and experts, emails, and tips. Moreover, the video appeals to pathos via humor by ridiculing other news reports. This makes it “more likely [for viewers] to be motivated to adopt an opinion…when logical appeals are combined with appeals that work on an emotional level” (Austin 661).

In our unit Rhetoric and Politics, we learned about ethos, pathos, and logos. We also learned about logical fallacies and political platforms. It was very interesting to learn about and now I see these devices all the time when looking at advertisements. In order to learn about advertisements we got to watch a lot of video advertisements. After watching and breaking down advertisements and the specific thoughts, mechanics, and fallacies advertisers use to motivate us to buy products, we got to make our own video.

This goes to show that using some imagery can help capture your readers or

According to the New York Times, many multimodal texts expose the average person to at least five thousand advertisements a day (Story). In today’s world, ads are everywhere, but one of the most effective forms of advertising is in the advent of television because it provides an excellent combination of pictures, words, music, and animations. Particularly, Ad Council, a non-profit organization, joins with various sponsors to produce and promote unique collaborations of public service announcements. The organization has found ways, using multimodal interfaces, to stimulate action against many problems in the world that primarily concerns Americans (e.g., texting and driving, dating violence, and child hunger). Accordingly, Ad Council has cooperated

Comics are for Learners The graphic essay ,”Show and Tell” by Scott McCloud was written to prove that Graphic novels can be a useful tool to communication and that we see this form of communication through many mediums. To convey this message, McCloud uses classification and division to categorize all of his knowledge into concise and easy- to- understand categories for the reader. This theme of the usefulness of graphic novels is also seen in other works of McCloud, including his TED talk, describing his life, and his own official website, scottmccloud.com. McCloud’s views of graphic novels are used to show the reader and others that they are in fact a good source of knowledge;he believes that graphic novels can academically benefit students

The number one reason I think reading this assignment is important is that technology is growing at such a rapid pace. Understanding that technology has made the use of visual imagery to persuade us as a society is crucial. Reading this assignment gives us the viewer the tools to properly see a realistic view behind the image. We can tell story, interpret situations, market an item and use visual imagery in many other ways,

When you give the reader a visual representation of a concept, they are able to put themselves in the situation and relate.

The imagery and tone also helps readers to see the speaker 's attitude. All of these elements work together so the reader can see the speaker 's

Animation refers to the creation of the sequence of images drawn, painted, or produced by other artistic methods that change over time portray the illusion of motion. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation has 2D and 3D, for 2 dimensional figures are created or edited on the computer using 2D bitmap graphics or created and edited using 2D vector graphics. This includes automated computerized versions of traditional animation techniques, for 3 dimensional is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. The animator usually starts by creating a 3D polygon mesh to manipulate.

Because of these innovations, Walt has long been recognized as a cinematic genius in this field. Another area of innovation attributed to Walt Disney is animatronics. This field was very new at the time. Walt pioneered new ideas that are still being used around the world today for special effects in movie production, in theme parks, and in theaters. It is almost mind-boggling to list all the innovations Mr. Disney’s empire is responsible for.

- Animated movies use artificial images like talking pigs to tell a story. These movies used to be drawn by hand, one frame at a time, but are now made on

in the classroom. During our everyday life, all the time we are in contact with lots of visuals, which can be beneficial for learning too. Researchers believed in the positive effect of visuals on learning. Gambrell and Jawitz (1993) indicated that visuals aids which are used during teaching a text can improve the comprehension of the text, as using them makes learners more engaged in the text. The impact of visuals in the process of teaching is so important, as using unrelated visuals can decrease the learning of learners.
