show body language.

give the reader a look at the
character they are reading about.

the most detail, but does not
include the broader scene. It
allows the artist to show a
character’s reaction or feelings.

character is looking at. It helps
the reader to see the scene from
the character’s perspective.

angle
Camera angle is the reader’s
point of view to the comic page. A
scene may be shot from several
camera angles. The different
camera angles will have different
effects on the viewer and how
they perceive the scene they are
reading.
