Tuesday 4 February 2014 for Periods 2, 5 & 6 and Wednesday 5 February for Periods 1 & 7
Mr. Stone discussed Scott McCloud's classification of panel-to-panel transitions in comics and defined closure. McCloud's classification includes six types: moment-to-moment, action-to-action, subject-to-subject, scene-to-scene, aspect-to-aspect, and non-sequitor.
Students were assigned to describe the first two panels of the cartoon they have selected and to identify the type of transition that occurred between the two panels. Each student should write three paragraphs.
First Paragraph
Describe the first panel of your comic. Use naming, detailing, and comparing. Your paragraph should be at least five sentences long.
Second Paragraph
Describe the second panel of your comic Use naming, detailing, and comparing. This paragraph should also be at least five paragraphs.
Paragraph Three
Describe the panel-to-panel transition. Name the type of transition between the two panels you have described. Use specific details to describe the differences between the two panel. Describe the reader's closure, his/her mental completing based on past experience of gap visually represented by the gutter between the two panels of the comic.
Homework: Finish the three-paragraph description of your comics' first two panels. Be sure and bring Diana Hacker's A Pocket Style Manual to the next class.
