Part1.3 Abstract Experimental Animation

What is abstruction

It is not about a specific object, but it can show something(feeling, emotion) that can only be appreciated intellectually.

Formative Abstruction

Focus on the treatment of visual fundamentals; color, form, space. There is an inextricable link between conceptual applications and technological advances, which raises complex and challenging questions.

Conceptual Abstruction

Challenge traditional film narrative, using metaphor and symbolism. May not have predetermined results, but must be based on applied theory.

Non-Dialogued film

“From Hollywood’s silent films to Surrealism, from children’s narrative to Expressionism, working without the key element of dialogue in developing the narrative or the theme, challenges the communicator  to convey information through gesture and performance, filmic language, special effects and alternative audio components.”
