Visual Assignment Comic Book Effect

Visual Assignment 341 asks us to, “Take a picture and experiment with the “Halftone Effect” in some photo editing software to create a comic book effect.”

I started with a snip of the Snipping Tool of a scene from The Prisoner episode 7, “Many Happy Returns”. Number 6 finds a camera at the abandoned Village store, and checks out its action.

Does isolating one frame and presenting it in a radically different medium enhance our understanding of the subject? Perhaps it can bring out shades of emotion, intent, and interpretation that remains hidden in the swiftly moving video stream.

One Credit Unit, but lots of fun! And something else to pursue…
