Moment to moment - small lapses in time Pebble island - a good moment to moment comic Action to action - different action/ same scene - needs closure Daddy’s girl - good action to action comic Lighter than my shadow - Katie green The table cloth - Marion fayolle Subject to subject - within the same scenes, but move to different subject - needs more reader involvement Paper girls - Bryan Vaughn and cliff Chiang - good subject to subject comic Scene to scene - geographic location - significant movement of time and or space - deductive reasoning needed Aspect to aspect - scene setting motif Non sequitur- no logical relationship between panels Casestudy: research a comic artist of your choice & analyse a page of their work: This is a strip from the comic Hilda (also known as Hildafolk) which is an award-winning British children's graphic novel series written and illustrated by Luke Pearson.
