I thought that the people in the side boxes (1st strip) were going on in the meantime whilst Arthur was pulling out the sword. As mentioned in the lesson, I can see that the sword is powerful because of the way it's being held and the way that Arthur is holding it. In the second strip it is really suspense building because it shows gritted teeth and Arthur looking nervous as he gets his hands round the sword. Leonie:)
The first picture stands out and shows that he is powerful holding the sword up high.The background also makes it stand out and shows that the sword is magical and powerful. The second picture shows the facial expressions and gives the idea that the man on the right is angry and Arthur is brave but nervous.
I agree with jana and leonie but I also think (in the first one) the angle of the photo makes a big difference- it makes him look bigger and 'on top of the world'
I think in the first picture the on at the top on the right with his face alone it shows that he is in a way surprised and a hint of innocence. there expressions alone on the graphic novel show great detail the show anger, smugness ,innocence, happy (laughter) and people shocked. in the first one the angle of the photo shows as Leonie said he was "on top of the world" and also from the angle it shows that he has strength, even if you cant see them on the outside you can kind o see them on the inside. In the first picture I don't know if you noticed but the birds are all heading towards the stone as Arthur held it up into the sky. Hope tis will help in the discussion. Caitlin xxx
I totally agree with leonie ,jana,holly and Caitlin but I also want to add that the goldy yellowy colour in the background is the connotation of the sun and it is showing that this a great thing and that it's is filled with light . The other graphic novel part when he is trying to pull out the sword he says ' Lord I do not ask for much but ...' this means he is praying to god and he really wants to be successful Siya xoxo :)
I agree with Siya about the colour's in the background maybe meaning connotations of happiness, the sun and hope. The 2ND strip is my favourite out of the two because it leaves you thinking ' Is he going to do it ...' and ' Is the man going to kill him ' because he has gritted teeth and he says " It's been a while since I ran down a rabbit " and " Time to die boy". I agree with Holly that in the 1ST strip of photos, that the camera angles make it look like ' He is on top of the world' . In the 1ST strip of photo's in the main picture of ' King Arthur ' (or soon to be) there are Doves flying above him once he has pulled out the sword I think that it means that there is peace because he has pulled out the sword and is the next King !! Ciara :) ;)
in the first picture I agree with Caitlin because he face shows how proud he is for pulling to sword out of the stone which was meant to be impossible. Also in the second picture I think that author is looking determind to sussed by pulling out the sword. I also think if the picture was written in a book the two pictures should be written the other way around so it would flow better
Like caitlyn said "expressions alone on the graphic novel show great deal" because like 3/4 of all the pics are concentrated on one figure, so their isn't like a lot of things going on in one pic/ background of pics because that distracts the audience off the main point that is meant to be specified this is to give you the real feel of the scene. Patience :) P:S thats the right way to do the smiley face!
I agree with Ciara because the second picture makes you feel a bit nervous about what is going to happen next. I also found that lots of other thoughts were going round my head especially of the close up pictures of the man who wants to kill him. Holly :)
I think that because the colours used are all solid and based around the same shades - yellow and orange it gives an eye catching affect! Also, I agree with Ciara and Siya that it gives connotations of the sun, hope and also happiness! To add to this, I think that the colour yellow gives connotations of honour - he is honoured that he is the one to have drawn the sword from the stone. I got this from the idea that scrolls are normally seen as being yellow so for instance, when you get your graduation certificate at University, you might feel honoured! Don't know if anyone agrees with this? I like the layout of the images and the words because, a I said to Ciara in paired discussion, its a bit like when you say something and then at the end you go hint, hint, the images are like the sentence and the words are the hint hint, so it would be good for a person that either cant read or doesn't enjoy reading! I am sorry for this but I cant see the words to the second slide on my laptop so I can't comment on them however, I like the dramaticness ( not sure if this is a word ) of the images and the facial expressions used. As Caitlyn said "expressions alone on the graphic novel show great deal" because they really do tell the story! Anna ;-P
I think that because the main colour scheme is gold it is trying to point out that this is a very important moment in time and that it could of bought the person in the picture, (who I think is Arthur ), a lot of wealth and maybe happiness a few hours of days later. Freya
The second novel strip shows suspence building with tenced expressions, dramatic movements and (as leonie said) gritted teeth. In the second novel strip it also shows lots of little scenes/pictures which increases the suspence throughout the story. In the first novel strip (as mentioned in class) Arthur in is the foreground meaning he is important in this scene and other things are in the middkle and backround. It also shows that the sword is very important by the strength it took to get it out and the sun reflecting on it making it shine.
i think you can tell the sword is speacial because its up high and the sun is shining on it.Also on the first picture you can tell more about the story by the exspresions on the charecters faces.I can tell the man on the left in the middle is happy and the one below him is angry.the pictue at the bottom of the strip looks mysterious because its dark and you cant see the charrecters face.
The first picture is the one I remember from doing in the lesson but the writing seems a bit too small on the second picture and I can't really read it so I will talk about the first picture. There is a boy in a big picture in the novel and he looks quite bold and strong. He is holding a sword and holding it up high and confidently in the air. Everyone is gasping and saying, "Arthur is here!" He seems like he is the important one because everyone is in the background and they seem not as important as him. The sun is shining on the sword making it look invincible!
In the first picture, it emphasizes that Arthur (you can tell that's his name because of the people talking at the side) and the sword are important. It does this by making the trees look as if they are surrounding him in a circle, so he's what people would look at - right in the middle. The sword shows importance because it's glinting in the light and is being held up high.
In the second picture, it's showing how Arthur came to find the sword and other guy in the picture is saying "It's been a while since I've ran down a rabbit" so that must mean that he's the 'bad guy' in the legend. The expression on his face also shows anger and hatrid because he has gritted teeth and his face is scrunched with his eyebrows furrowed together.
In the first picture it looks like the sword is powerful and is magical and important, and the guy who is holding it is the true person that it belongs to.
In the second picture I think it shows how the guy came across the sword and what he did to get it.
on the first strip it shows arthur pulling the sword from the stone. when the sword reflects on the sun everything looks golden and as freya said the colour gold connects to happiness and wealth.
i agree with Anton as she said that the other guy is bad i think he also wants the sword as leonie said the bad man has gritted teeth because he his angry.
I agree with Holly when she says the angle of King Arthur in the first graphic novel makes him look stronger and powerful. I also agree with Siya and Ciara when the say the colour of the background might have connotations with power, hope or happiness for Arthur. I think that the people speaking on the side strip each have different expressions. The first one shows that the person is shocked and maybe quite confused that Arthur has managed to pull out the sword from the stone as he turns round to see the excitement. The third one down is excitement and happiness that he has managed to pull the sword out. However, although the first and third are good expressions, the fourth looks shocked and quite disgusted. He is questioning it as if he has a problem with it.
In the second graphic novel, I can't actually read what it says but I can tell from the pictures that it looks like Arthur and the other man are trying to get to the sword first to attempt at pulling it out. The man looks angry and frustrated that Arthur is trying to get the sword. I can tell this because of the way that he is gritting his teeth together in determination.
Also, in the first graphic novel, I can tell the sword is powerful and special because of how it is shining and glowing and because of the way Arthur is holding it. POLLY :)
In the first strip, I agree with Holly as well when she mentions the angling of the picture, because it gives a strong affect. And again, I agree with Polly, Ciara and Siya about the connotations of the strip (yellow) because it could symbolise hope, happiness and/or power. Also, the expressions on the face of Arthur are easy to read because they look like he is happy.
Looking at the second strip, the facial expressions are not very happy-looking and and the man in the right hand corner looks greedy.
I think like Freya said, the colour that they chose (gold) was to specify that it is an important moment because he pulled the sword out of the stone. Also, like Lauren said his facial expressions are very easy to read because of course, if you were to stand there with a special sword in your hand that you just pulled out of a stone...you would be happy and would feel powerful, wouldn't you... Hey_its_BAT :)
Like Megan said in the first picture the sword looks magical and powerfull because of the way the boy is holding it importantly and how the lines outlining it make it seem to shimmer wich makes it magical. Also i like how all the pictures are shodowy and have lots of shading on the bad / angry people. This makes me think they are dark (evil) and mistiriouse.
like most people have noticed and commented; on the first picture arthur holding the sword up in the light at an angle makes him look powerful and important as the sword shimmers.
To add that, although (on the first picture) most of the people shown are surprised, happy or envious. The last person seems very great and powerful, he says 'Arthur, the true king has arrived' as if there is a legend involved and he had known all along that Arthur was going to withdraw the sword. I have previously quoted that he seems 'very great and powerful', like he is a wise old man that knows a great deal of information about legends and the future.
I think that the camera angle is slanted and below the boy in the first picture this makes him look powerful and strong. The colours are a brown sort of colour this makes the picture look old. The way that the sun reflects on the sword makes the sword look magical and mysterious and has great power.
The second picture has shaded area's this is effective and questions the reader.
