DT1101 Sequential Art

In this course, you will explore the significance of a single image as the foundational unit for storytelling, emphasising composition, staging, lighting, and colour. You will learn to construct narratives through media like comics, storyboards, and films, applying basic editing and cinematography concepts. The role of sound in narratives is explored through examples from film and animation. This learning forms the foundation for further studies in visual sequential narrative media. You will also be introduced to non-traditional narrative formats, including spatial storytelling, interactive narratives, and immersive environments, providing students a basic understanding of these emerging story formats.

This course thus serves as a key entry point for students intending to pursue Animation and Game Art as well as Cinematic Arts specialization, while equally valuable to those interested in experimenting with diverse forms of visual storytelling or sequential art.
