In this blog post, I will be
discussing an online digital graphic novel called The Prisoner, and what I thought about this graphic novel after
reading it myself, as well as how this comic can broaden an individual awareness.
Palm Pre, with AMC TV supporting this digital graphic novel on their show,
created this graphic novel and to see this graphic novel, visit: http://www.amctv.com/the-prisoner-graphic-novel/
Summary. This graphic novel talks about
Rebecca Meadows, who is searching for her missing sister and her investigation
leads her to The Village-- a shared experience in the unconscious minds of the
people living there, developed by scientists who work for a corporation called
Summakor, in order to treat patients with severe psychological illnesses. (AMC-The Prisoner Online) .
Opinion.
After reading this graphic novel, I think that the digital artists who made
this graphic novel as a digital comic, helped broaden both the visual and
literary styles as well as the way graphic novels can be written. Graphic
novels, in my opinion, help when building literary awareness to further better
our comprehension of the English language, and to better understand what other
kinds of literary styles are being implemented by other authors.
Literary
and Visual Devices. Some of the literary and visual devices that were being
used were that, in terms of the artwork, the images were shown as clear and bold
on the color and the way the characters were designed, to show what kind of
mood the graphic novel is showing. Some of the key transitions that are listed
in Scott McCloud’s, Understanding Comics,
transitions between the panels of each image, is mostly moment-to-moment and
scene-to-scene, in which different backgrounds are being used to help describe where
the story is taking place. The gutter space between is about 2 seconds time
between and each chapter ranges from 10-15 pages per chapter in the story. What
is different about this graphic novel is that the digital images are introduced
and given transitional movement to help position the images in the panel,
rather than just see the image as a still figure.
Overall, I was very impressed with
this graphic novel since it showed me a different perspective of how literary
devices can be shown and what other kinds of authors use different literary
styles to portray their work on paper. I believe graphic novels can also expand
our reading circles, depending on what kind of graphic novel it can be.
