Animasyonda Anlatı Yapısı, Sinemasal Dil ve Korku Duygusunun İnşası: Arkadaşım Korku

This study examines how the emotion of fear is characterized and constructed through cinematic language in animation cinema, focusing on the animated film adapted from Francesca Sanna's book "My Friend Fear." Building upon Gilles Deleuze's concepts of time-image and sensory-motor narrative, alongside David Bordwell's theories of classical narrative structure, this research analyzes the role of animation's unique modes of expression in visualizing fear and anxiety. Through Paul Wells and Maureen Furniss's framework of animation ontology, the study discusses how fear is materialized through movement, rhythm, mise-en-scène, and visual abstraction techniques. The article problematizes how psychological transformations and internal conflicts experienced by a migrant child are represented within animation's plastic language, evaluating the treatment of fear not merely as a negative emotion but as a transformable and integrable experience. Through detailed analysis of 28 scenes from the animated film, the research reveals how animation's capacity for abstraction translates psychological concepts into visual language and how this process transforms traditional codes of cinematic language. The study also addresses the role of animation techniques produced with Adobe After Effects, including Puppet Position Pin Tool, Wave effect, masking, and keyframe animation, in conveying emotions.
