INSTRUCTION

Task 1 Exercise (20%)- Individual Assignment

Learning Goals:

The objective of this assignment is to apply Scott McCloud's theory on transitions to create a digital triptych, comprising three panels: one before, one during (climactic turning point), and one after a significant event. Each panel will represent a different transition type from McCloud's theory.

Referencing Scott McCloud's analysis of transitions in "Understanding Comics," you will select one panel before and one panel after the climactic turning point, surrounding a panel representing the turning point itself. Each panel will exemplify a different transition type, creating a digital triptych that showcases various narrative transitions.

Review Scott McCloud's transitions: moment-to-moment, action-to-action, subject-to-subject, scene-to-scene, aspect-to-aspect.
Select one transition type for each of the three panels: before, during (climactic turning point), and after the turning point.
Identify specific moments or elements in the narrative that align with the chosen transitions.

Create a digital triptych with three panels that clearly illustrate the chosen transitions.
Use any digital medium (illustration software, graphic design tools, etc.) to craft the panels.
Ensure coherence and narrative flow between the panels, capturing the essence of the transitions selected.

Submit the completed digital triptych via the designated platform.
Include a brief explanation for each panel, detailing the chosen transition and its significance in the narrative context.
Ensure that each panel distinctly represents its respective transition type.

Understanding and application of Scott McCloud's theory on transitions in creating the digital triptych.
Clarity and effectiveness in using each transition to depict the sequential narrative.
Coherence and visual storytelling across the three panels.
Artistic execution and presentation of the digital triptych.
