Colors & Panels in F451

This story is a lot more effective because of the comic book style it is written in. The colors really help add to the tone of the story, because the dark colors convey a very ominous mood. The colors almost serve as foreshadowing for when you flip to the page; you can tell mood of the following few comic squares by quickly looking at the colors- the darker the colors, the darker the material presented. The other effective thing about the comic book style is the way that panels are split up. The audiences attention is affected by the squares- we generally look at the big background picture first and then zero in on the smaller squares. This helps the audience get the general idea of the page before actually absorbing the dialogue and smaller events.
