影像的界限：「frame」與影像之可塑性

Image Limits: The Plasticity Relationship between‘Frame’and Image

本文企圖以動畫創作者的視域，觀察在動畫影像生成之前，經常以「框」、「格」、「畫面」作為影音構思及創造行動。針對交織於此的核心理念，發現均涉及「frame」字詞中所指向的「框」與「邊界」之意涵。藉由重探「frame」與影像的生成關係，並針對「frame」字義在作品生成條件中的演變過程，視察「frame」在既有的定義與條件中，是如何被進一步思考。「frame」之於原先涉及的理念建構，就不再只是作為「固定…」與「框限…」之片面性看法。尤其位處於繪畫、攝影、電影之間的多重投映時，對「frame」所繼續衍生的概念，竟是在變動的結構中流變為新的意義。雖然動畫創作者一開始只是以「框」、「格」、「畫面」操作「frame」之於「界限」或「邊界」之意圖，但在展開「frame」與影像塑形的這條脈絡中，發現創作者是從「邊界」開始進行創造的行動。因此「frame」不再只作為影像工作者之操作理念，另一方面也成為表述影像哲思的創作立場，甚至反映一個正在改變或跨越既定影像思維的起點。

"This paper attempts to observe animation image construction and creation action of''frame,''''column,''and''screen''before image generation from the perspective of creator. In terms of core concepts intertwined, this study finds both meanings of''frame''and''border''involve in the word,''frame.''Thus, the generation relationship between''frame''and image is re-explored and the transformation process of textual meaning of''frame''in work generation is examined to further investigate how the creator develops and manipulates''frame''and observe how''frame''is perceived from its existing meaning and condition. Original concept construction of''frame''is no longer defined as one-side view of being''limited''and''boundary''and in particular, there are continuously generated concepts of''fame during multiple presentation between painting, photography, and film newly transformed in the changing structure.Although the creator in the beginning used''frame,''''column,''and''screen''to manipulate the''limits''and''boundary''meanings of''frame,''yet in the context to deploy''frame''and image plasticity, the creator is found to start the creation action from''boundary.''Hence,''frame''is not only the manipulation concept of image creator but also a way to express image philosophy of the creator. Frame even reflects a start point that changes or transcends existing image concepts."
