Madden's 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Interesting!
Form
there is only one character who is a man in the original comic. Although there is another person talking with him, we cannot see the person’s face. However, in the chosen comic, there is also a woman drawing upstairs and asking the man the time.
The original one just uses the speech balloons to show the dialogue between the man and another unknown person. But in the chosen comic, there is also thought balloon so that I can be clear about the mind of man and development of story. in the original comic, there are gutters between each panel. It seems to show that each panel is unique. And in the chosen one, there is no gutter between the panels. It can show that there is a strong relationship between the panels. Therefore the readers link up the panels and treat the whole as one story. It is a good way to present a story.
- The author in original comic only shows the man and the conversation with another unknown person. It tries to show the main character is the man. But in the chosen one, there is a woman with the man, and it shows the actions they have before, during and after conversation. That means the focus has changed from the man to both the man and the woman.
- The comic I choose emphases on describing the development of story, which shows more the actions the man takes before he goes to the fridge. It makes readers get more interests in the comic and see what will happen next.
