Week 5 Blog Applications Exercise



I chose a page from a Spiderman Comic Book. In this page Spiderman is trying to free himself before the crack in the ceiling gets bigger. The image shows this by showing the crack with dripping water in the first frame. It identifies the problem right away. The next frames show Spiderman struggling with water pouring ontop of him, displaying how he needs to quickly escape so he doesn't drown. He has heavy, probably metal, debris ontop of him, which is delaying his escape. Spiderman has both hands on a piece of debris and lifts his head up to gain the strength to lift the heavy debris off of him. The last and biggest frame shows Spiderman lifting the heavy debris and water is still pouring ontop of him. Without reading the comic I could tell that Spiderman was in trouble and would drown if he didn't. In each frame it shows the water falling from the ceiling.

Usually in comic books they display images in sequential order. " Devices such as speech ballons and boxes are used to indicate dialogue and impart establishing information, while panels, layout, gutters and zip ribbons can help indicate the flow of the story"(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics).
