the reading

The chapter talks about space and motion. About the space, it talks about linear perspective, which is a mathematical system for projecting the apparent dimensions of a three-dimensional object onto a flat surface. The surface is called picture plane. The book also talks about other ways to create the illusion of space: Overlap, size variation, and definition. The book specifically mentions about constructing the Walt Disney’s animation movie, Mulan. When the book talks about movement, it talks about the kinesthetic response, which is the science of movement, the decisive moment, before and after, and fragmentation.
