When I search for a good
image I put “dancing” as a key word. I love to watch movies that involve dance,
so I come across blog talking about Step
up movie. Even though the
image is still, we can easily tell that it is all about movement. It is perfect
example of induced motion. In our imagination we cans try to
suggest what the next move might be, so picture should be convincing in order
to guess that.
The placements of the bodies suggest movement. The couple in the middle is the best example because female dancer is in very uncomfortable position and male dancer holding the hand above her chest. Their position suggests on of a very spectacular moves in hip-hop, when guy would slightly raise his hand and her upper body will make a popping movement in the same direction with a perfect synchronicity. It looks like magician makes his puppet to do what he wants. Female dancer on the right leans forward her position proposes another step forward in a robotic manner.
Another trick that always works in order to make dancers look dynamic in the pictures is “flying hair”. Hair of girls seems fluid, in reality, hair cannot stop in a position like it is shown on this picture, but when person is moving camera can capture that moment. Usually drops of water from the hair in movement direction make pictures even more fantastic, but in this case drop shadows and rain add realism to the dancing science. Drops of water double the illusion of movement.

On this poster
the designer implies movement by dealing with type only. Left and right
sides of the image contrast with each other. The text typed on the left side doesn't implement any movement and type on the right side does. It is perfect example of induced motion. We are under impression that latter are falling
down. We see that direction of the smaller type imitates shower or waterfall
effect. Letters are grouped closer together on the top of the image and then
get looser and more parallel to each other.
The bright red letters
are turning in different directions while they fall and follow the letters that
imitate waterfall of shower effect. Usually when you through some object down
from a height it wouldn't drop down in the exact same position, based
on that knowledge we perceive letters as if they are moving down.
We also have
the example of apparent movement here. Latter “g” on the top changing position
and “shadow” of the letter makes stop in different position out of time while
it keeps getting lower on pictorial plane. Seems like it falling down. Bright
letter “g” is tilted on left side, than lighter version of the same letter gets
straight, and finally it tilts on the right side. This effect is
often used in multiplication to show the movement of the character.
