PROCESS

I used digital compositing and manipulating to combined all the images together. The images I used are captured from camera and then put together with photoshop to create the composite.

I borrowed the hands of my friends and screenshots from the app to create the images. In case you’re wondering, yes, the guy in the shirts is me.

FINAL OUTCOME

I built on my previous assignment concept of the fable of Wolf In Sheep and introduced colors into the frame.

These two comic panel tells the story of a wolf who lures unsuspecting sheep with this Herdr profile of a charming young and sweet sheep. Once he agrees to meet them, he lures them into a romantic candle lit dinner where he attacks and then dines on his unsuspecting victims.

The first frame is a developed concept from the previous assignment. This frame tells the story of an innocent viewer looking at what seems to be a nice young sheep. However, glitching out – it features the true identity of a malicious wolf.

It features a lot more mise-en-scene than the previous (as per feedback)

1. White Shirt – Represents purity and innocence. Also matches the pelt/wool of the sheep.  A shirt is a lot more formal, proper and smarter than a tee shirt.
2. Red Flowers – Juxtaposes against the white shirt, represents love and romance. Which is what Herdr (the animal version of Tinder) represents.
3. Sheep – Represents innocence and naïveté.
4. Wolf – Represents malevolence and juxtaposes the innocence of the sheep.
5. Red Shirt, Knife and Blood Stains – Emphasizes the underlying violence and death.

This panel shows viewer and the wolf over a candle-lit dinner. The viewer sees an empty plate, but the dimly lit situation seems a little eerie. Oh, is that blood stains or ketchup on his shirt? Hmm. 

It features the following mise-en-scene elements.
1. Red Shirt – Emphasizes violence and adds an uneasy vibes of malevolence. The similar red shirt from the previous panel lets the viewer draw the connection that this is the character we thought we saw.
2. Heavy vignetting – Builds an uneasy feeling as the viewer is forced to draw everything from what little he/she can see.
3. Wolf head – Emphasizes the person sinister character.
4. Empty plate – It adds a sense of uneasiness to the frame, there is a dinner plate, but why is it empty? Maybe because the viewer is what’s for dinner?

Reflection

This is was quite a fun project, I took most of the elements from photographs I had and snapped pictures of things from around the house. Overall I liked how it turned out!
