This week I decided to reed some more articles about my topic, so I can sort more information and narrow the research gap.
I found this paper: “Cinematic animation – Analysis of mechanisms and techniques: the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as a case study” by Dr. Bouthayna HAMMI (2025). This article explores the narrative mechanisms and visual techniques in animated films, focusing on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Through an analysis of the innovative use of hybrid 2D and 3D animation, color palettes, and lighting, the article examines how these elements contribute to storytelling and the viewer’s emotional experience. Emphasis is placed on the impact of the “multiverse” concept and comic book elements in narrative construction, as well as the enhanced visual immersion created by special effects. The study concludes with the significance of these techniques in pushing the boundaries of traditional
animation.
I am not sure whether I want to include it in my literature review, but it was interesting to read. Maybe I will take some points from it after all.
