Graphic Novel Analysis Task
Your task is
to analyse an extract from a graphic novel about Arthurian Legend. In your
response, you should aim to demonstrate an understanding of graphic novel
terminology and language associated with analysing still images. It is key that
you link what you are describing with meaning as frequently as possible. Below
are some of the key features of a graphic novel you have learnt about:
• Panel/frame (the box shaped
images on the page of a graphic novel)
• Gutter (the space between
panels/frames)
• Camera distance (Long shot, mid-shot,
close-up)
• Camera angle (low/high)
• Mise-en-scene (meaning what is ‘put
in the scene/frame’ which includes colour, lighting, setting, props,
• body gestures/facial
expressions)
• Speech/Thought
balloon or bubble
The piece of analysis below has been given to you as a model to demonstrate
how you could develop these skills:
In the mise-en-scene
of the main frame, we can see an image of Arthur
holding the sword above
his head. The wide, low angle shot shows Arthur’s
power and strength,
despite being a boy.
