There
are mainly hard lines in this panel. I noticed that there is a line slightly
under Jane’s eye, which makes her appear fiercer. The lines show the
seriousness of the situation.

An argument that I found interesting to look at is the time and speed. The way you describe Jane's speech pattern as calm and a little slow, could because they don't want to frighten Grace of the severity of their land and their mother's condition. Also the images lose color by the last panel by leaving Jane in an almost white abyss so that we aren't distracted by anything else, only the seriousness of her telling Grace it's time to go home. Nice analysis! :)
ReplyDeleteConsidering the size of the panels I would say time and speed are fast but reading the conversation I completely understand where could say it is a little slow. This is a really good analysis I think you hit everything spot on not really much to argue with. Great work!
ReplyDeleteWith your analysis I agree with a lot of the answers you had. This page had a very calm and normal speed feeling to it. Also with the abstract, it stays consistent through every panel.
ReplyDeleteThis is a little bit random I guess, but I feel like there's a sort of underlying guild in this scene, which is especially evident in panels 3 and 4, through the facial expression--the curve of the eyebrows while avoiding eye contact. Grace's family feels guilty for making Grace comes back, and perhaps Grace feels guilty for her own sense of escapism from her "home."
