Pavel Tchelitchew is a Russian artist notable for his use of surrealism as well as his anatomical studies and costume designs. Tchelitchew’s dark, teeming works were often influenced by his experiences living through both World Wars and Russia’s history as the Soviet Union. Tête (1950), a pastel-on-paper work, uses visual rhythm and pattern to depict the form of a head. The repeating ellipses progress in rhythm as they expand outward. The overlapping areas create polyrhythmic patterns as the multi-sized shapes collide and register in the viewer’s mind at different speeds.
Rhythm is caused by patterns in movement. What are those footsteps in the dark room? Are they slow or fast? Running or sneaking up on you? Rhythm controls the pace of action in your story. Rhythm can be repeated character types, weapons, or color strategies. We see and hear rhythm throughout nature as well as in our digital environment. Rhythm organizes units into patterns. Rhythm is created through repetition, alternation, and progression.
Alternating rhythm is a form of repetition and is predictable. We switch back and forth from one thing to another like a tennis match. Alternating rhythm can create tension, such as switching close up head shots of one character arguing with another.
Audio Rhythm: Sounds that create patterns such breathing or shooting rounds of ammo.
Conceptual Rhythm: Intensifies, moves along, or calms the story. Conceptual rhythm coordinates visual and audio rhythm with the pace of your story.
Contrasting Rhythms are two or more sounds or motions at obviously different tempos.
Legato means music in a smooth flowing manner, without breaks between notes or a smooth flowing motion.
Polyrhythmic patterns: Use of simultaneous contrasting rhythms. A battle scene has many (poly) rhythms such as big guns, small guns, shouts, rumbles, footsteps, and explosions.
Progressive rhythm is a pattern that changes over time to more or less intensity. Progressive rhythm makes us feel that. something is in an evolving state of change. We can tell when the battle is heating up by the rhythm of the sounds and the actions of the characters running toward or away from the fighting.
Repeating the same thing again and again gives us a feeling of predictability.
Rhythm and motion: When a motion repeats, speeds up, slows down it creates a rhythm. The rhythm of tai chi is slow. The rhythm of Kung Fu is fast.
Staccato derives from the Italian verb staccare, meaning “to detach,” and can now describe anything - not just sounds - made, done, or happening in an abrupt or disjointed way.
Visual Rhythm: When motifs such as lines or shapes repeat visual rhythm forms.
