Assignment 2 specifications • Assignment Theme: Web Adaptation • Your graphic short story will be based on an existing written piece of literature, a poem, short story, novel or song lyrics. • You will likely need to adjust the way the original text tells the story to adapt if to this graphic novel style; for example, think of the difference between a novel and how it is adapted for a movie. • You may also adapt a story's parameters (such as setting) to better suit your interests (think of all the versions of Romeo and Juliet).
What is sequential art? • Define: Sequential art • Juxtaposed • pictorial and other images • in deliberate sequence, • intended to convey information • and /or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer.
Question and Answer Editing • Thinking in terms of how the larger sequence interacts rather then of the pictorial elements of a frame. • What does the audience need to know and when do they need to know it. • Question and answer patterns can be simple (2 frames) or take dozens of frames to play out. • Think in terms of an overlapping sequence of events rather then a connected group of frames.
Q+A example one • Shot A: Laura Enters woods. Q: Where is Tom? • Shot B: Laura stops a few yards from the clearing. Q: What has she found • Shot C: Tom and a girl lying naked on a blanket. Answer: Laura has found her brother. • Straight forward. Reader can anticipate outcome. Film directing Shot by Shot pg. 148
Q+A example two • Shot A: Laura Enters woods. Q: Where is Tom? • Shot C: Tom and a girl lying naked on a blanket. Answer: Tom is here. New question: Will Laura find Tom? • Shot B: Laura stops a few yards from the clearing. Answer: Laura has found tom. • Prolong time to find, reader and author share a secrete (where Tom is). Often used this to build tension (privileged information).
Q+A example three • Shot C: Tom and a girl lying naked on a blanket. Answer: Tom is here. • Shot A: A girl enters woods. Q: Is this Laura? • Shot B: Laura stops a few yards from the clearing. Answer: This is Laura • Reveals Tom in a compromising situation, a suspenseful situation is created. Audience is in a privileged position (Hitchcock often did this).
Motivated Editing • Cause and effect • The reader is provoked into speculation by the order and the manner in which the plot is revealed even though the same basic events are being represented. • Question and answer is often set-up in a way that causes reader participation. • Question may be answered through the accumulation of information over several frames.
