視覺圖像敘事要素之研究-以幻想式冒險漫畫為例

Abstract

使用圖像傳達訊息，相較於其他媒介符號更能快速引人入勝，其視覺敘事圖像的雖廣泛被運用，然而該如何掌握圖像的敘事方法？本研究藉由實驗操作法得到敘事圖像主要結構，經焦點小組討論分類方式；同時藉由敘事理論與與鏡頭語言分析圖片表現特點，以專家深入訪談，探討敘事圖像的設計原則。統整歸納研究結果為： 專家提出敘事圖像結構分類，其分類方式可作為敘事圖像結構經營的設計參考，可分為：（1）場景資訊類、（2）事件描述類、（3）性格特徵類、（4）趣味矛盾類；而視覺敘事圖像解析的結構分類，不同分類的圖片有各自結構功能。 敘事圖像設計參考準則分為敘事圖像結構與視覺表現兩大軸向，前者注重（1）結構節奏感製造劇情高潮、（2）單元比重符合敘事結構、（3）明確性傳達圖像訊息、（4）關聯性提供意義串聯；後者強調（1）營造地方特點，建立場景資訊、（2）傳達多元層次，豐富事件描述（3）凸顯情緒反應，交代性格特徵、（4）轉換畫面氣氛，增加趣味矛盾。 本研究進行視覺敘事結構的分析，歸納出分類結構與經營法則，期望藉由視覺敘事圖像的研究，幫助設計者有效地應用視覺敘事圖像。

Applying iconography to transmit messages is much more engrossing and direct than using other medium symbol, visual narrative iconography have been extensively applied in nowadays, however, how do we make precise use of the narrative method of iconography? This research is mainly conducted by applying the experiment operation method to conclude the main structure of narrative iconography, then the “focus group’’ would discuss and definite the classification manner; meanwhile, by using narrative theory and camera language to analyze the presentational topic of iconography, and by thoroughgoing interview with experienced specialist, to investigate the guideline of narrative iconography design. The results are as follows:

Professionals submit the categories of structures of narrative iconography, which generalize the design references of managing the structure of narrative iconography, these categories are: (1) scene information; (2) event descriptions; (3) character features; (4) amusing and paradoxical parts; According to these decomposed structural categories of visual narrative iconography, pictures of distinct categories possess respective structural functions. The reference principles of designing narrative iconography have to center on the narrative iconography structure and the visual representation, the former is concentrate on: (1) the structural tempo may produce the climax of story line; (2) the ratio of chapters should match the narrative structure; (3) to transmit iconography message definitely; (4) the connection may provide the link of meaning; The later emphasizes: (1) to invent the space distinguishing features, to establish scene information; (2) to convey multiple layer meanings, to enrich the expressions of incidents; (3) to project the sentimental reactions, to account for the character features; (4) to transform the frame atmosphere, to raise amusements and paradoxes.

This research had proceed the analysis of narrative iconography structure, and conclude the classification structure and the management prescription. Through this visual narrative iconography research, we were looking forward to be able to assist designers in applying visual narrative iconography efficiently.
