The cinema has been used to place us in the action, not merely to permit us to witness it. —Visual Culture p.214
Transforming from static to motion is always an excited thing. Although the reading in Visual Culture was talking about novel to film, I kinda want to extend this concept all over to the similar idea between graphic and anime. When we read text and images of someones creation, we are always receiving them unidirectionally. While transforming this creation into motion, there are much more subjects can be imported. The editor have more ways to convince their audience for believing the world of this story. While manga have its own way to present motion, anime use the technique to upgrade those scene.

“The cinema has been used to place us in the action, not merely to permit us to witness it.” -Visual Culture p.214. This is a great quote from the reading. It’s such a simple concept, but very powerful. The difference between static and motion images is extreme. When comparing one to the other, there is a very different outcome and response. I think your graphic does a great job penetrating this concept. Part of the image is static and park is in motion. When put together they create a contrasting, but harmonious image. Each patterned background also evokes a different kind of emotion. Very interesting.

While staring at this GIF image, I like the way how it was presented to connect the idea in Visual Culture “The cinema has been used to place us in the action, not merely to permit us to witness it (214).”
Based on my experience, while reading the comic books, I could recognize the emotion of the character from those different backgrounds. But if I could see the exactly same illustration be animated, since the duration and effects of the scene were all set up by the producer, I could feel the emotion and understand how intense it is.
