4 Panels, 4 Scenes Expanded


You’ve created a narrative sequence in just 4 panels with a different scene in each panel. Now, it’s time to examine your sequence and determine how to best serve that sequence with an expanded edit. What scenes are needed to complete the actions of the story arc? Are new panels needed at the beginning, middle or end of the story? Think about the different types of panel-to-panel transitions. Scene-to-scene, aspect-to-aspect, and so on. What types of transitions do you already find in the comic? What types of transitions can be inserted or removed to help the story?

Using all four of your original panels, add as many new panels as you feel necessary to anywhere in the comic that you feel best serves the story. These new panels can be at the beginning, middle, end or all throughout the comic.


4 Panels, 4 Scenes Expanded is due 9/8 to be switched for critique on 9/10.
