Animated Medium And Anti-narrative State Of Animation

The word "animated" comes from the article "The Veiled Genealogies of Animation and Cinema," translated by Zhang Kankan and written by Donald Crafton.In the paper,"animated" is used to distinguish it from "animation" in the cinematic sense,which originated after 1912.This is the main meaning of the word "animated" in this paper.Using the word "animated" is intended to emphasize the essential characteristics of much media-generated moving image content that result from the component of "motion" in the media system rather than from the composition of the image.This work sorts and analyzes many dynamic images that are the precursors of animation film and its supporting media,as well as the "dynamic elements" in early films,dividing them into three distinct stages: germination,development,and modernity.Media archeology is used to examine the devices used to create moving images and the associated motion features in ancient and pre-animation times.By examining "trick film" in the early stage of film development,"visual music" dominated by "German expressionism" and its variants,it shows that the workability of moving image content was used in the early stage of film development.Through the study of the initial stage of cartoon film,we find the origin of the systematization of modern commercial animation,which is very similar to the film industry,showing that the influence of film language on cartoon film has a long history.Through the identification and analysis of virtual motion in modern animation and film,it is found and shown that these dynamic images all use similar dynamic motion methods and ultimately serve the text narrative.In the summary and review,the video media and the quality of media that create dynamic motion are analyzed and the relationship between different media,media systems,and video content and viewers are examined.Finally,it has been proven that the content of animated images can be judged whether it is in the state of animation anti-narrative by revealing the media system on which it is based.
