Fighting with scenario (part two)
Well I promised to update blog more regularly and here I’m
Just some recent thoughts about writing scenario for graphic novel.
I’m writing scenario for final chapter of first volume of my graphic novel. Of course it’s only begining I’ll have to check it many times, and then start drawing.
But even begining is quite difficult.
I think the key thing is ballance. Ballance between characters – you can’t favour one and neglect the other. There’re characters you feel comfortable with, you know everything about them, and others who aren’t definied so good, you don’t ‘feel’ them. And you have to also describe them, show them, even if you don’t know them completly.
Ballance between talking and action. I know that you have to interest the readers, show them emotions, action, strong characters. But there’re many scenes when characters just talk to each other, and you also have to make these scenes interesting.
Many things in scenario aren’t stable – characters’re changing, scenes’re changing, your ideas’re changing. And you have to control it. You quit some ideas and then go back to them. Some things seems very important and sudenly they don’t fit.
It’s just some thoughts maybe some people’ll find this interesting
Hey Agata! You won the mascara in my Mike Patton giveaway contest – funny how I never thought I’d see the terms “Mike Patton” and “mascara” in the same contest (unless you’re talking about the Falling to Pieces video HAHA!) but anyway, you won! Send me your details (I think my email is provided with this comment) and I’ll ship it out to you
