Masking (comics) (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Masking (or the masking effect) is a visual style used in comics, first described by American cartoonist Scott McCloud in his book Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. McCloud argues that characters with simple but recognizable designs, which he terms "iconic" characters, allow readers to project themselves into the story by using the characters as a "mask". He further argues that the juxtaposition of iconic characters with detailed backgrounds, characters, or objects can create meaning and strengthen or weaken readers' emotional and psychological connection to certain elements of the graphic narrative.

dbo:abstract Masking (or the masking effect) is a visual style used in comics, first described by American cartoonist Scott McCloud in his book Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. McCloud argues that characters with simple but recognizable designs, which he terms "iconic" characters, allow readers to project themselves into the story by using the characters as a "mask". He further argues that the juxtaposition of iconic characters with detailed backgrounds, characters, or objects can create meaning and strengthen or weaken readers' emotional and psychological connection to certain elements of the graphic narrative. Masking can be found in various media outside of comics, such as animation, picture books and video games (especially visual novels). Masking is commonly used in manga and anime; McCloud states that masking "was, for a time, virtually a national style" in Japan. (en) Le masquage est un style visuel, une convention théâtrale et une technique littéraire décrite par le dessinateur Scott McCloud dans son livre L'Art invisible. C'est l'utilisation de personnages simples, archétypaux et narratifs, juxtaposés sur des arrière-plans détaillés, photographiques, vraisemblants et spectaculaires. McCloud estime que cela peut fonctionner comme un masque, une forme d'identification projective. Son explication est qu'un personnage familier et peu détaillé permet une plus grande connexion émotionnelle pour les spectateurs. Ils peuvent ainsi s'identifier plus facilement. Cette technique est utilisée dans l'animation, la BD, l'illustration, les jeux vidéo (surtout les visual novels) et d'autres médias. Elle est commune dans les romans graphiques occidentaux, dans les mangas japonais et dans l'animation. La psychologie derrière l'effet de masquage a été étendue afin de rendre des antagonistes de manière réaliste. Il s'agit alors de montrer leur altérité par rapport au lecteur. (fr)
