ENG210Y1 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2-3: Medium Shot
Document Summary
The gutter the space between the frames. Comics as representations of something, but not the actual thing. Comics also depict the passage of time; eyes horizontally scanning the page, moving from one box to the next. Two boxes may also connect ideas and lead to the dependence on interpretation and filling in your own narrative; example: a shot of two people and a knife and then another box of screaming. This forces the reader to interpret them as one, continuous scene. Closure comics cannot actually portray an entire sight, object or idea.
