Used for 'speech bubbles,' 'sound effects,' 'visual storytelling,' 'comic direction,' and related topics." --- # Visual Narrative — Visual Narrative Methodology Expert knowledge used by the dialogue-writer and comic-editor agents when integrating dialogue and visual elements. ## Why Visual Narrative Matters In comics, dialogue accounts for only about **30%** of the storytelling. The remaining 70% is conveyed through art, composition, expressions, sound effects, and white space. The less dialogue, the stronger the comic. ## Speech Bubble System ### Speech Bubble Types | Type | Shape | Use | Prompt Instruction | |------|-------|-----|-------------------| | **Normal Dialogue** | Rounded ellipse | Regular conversation | "speech bubble" | | **Thought** | Cloud shape | Inner monologue | "thought bubble, cloud shape" | | **Shout/Emphasis** | Explosion/Jagged | Loud voice, anger | "burst speech bubble, jagged" | | **Whisper** | Dashed ellipse | Low voice | "dashed speech bubble, whisper" | | **Electronic Voice** | Rectangular border | Phone, broadcast, AI | "rectangular speech box" | | **Narration** | Rectangular box (top) | Commentary, time markers | "narration box, caption" | | **Emotion Symbol** | Symbol only | ?, !, ..., heart | Symbols without bubbles | ### Speech Bubble Placement Rules 1. **Reading order**: Top-to-bottom, left-to-right (for left-to-right languages) 2. **Tail direction**: The bubble tail points toward the speaker's mouth 3. **No obstruction**: Bubbles must not cover important visual elements 4. **Maximum 3**: No more than 3 speech bubbles per panel (split panel if exceeded) 5. **Use blank space**: Placing bubbles in the top third of the panel is most natural ## Sound Effect Typography ### Sound Effect Library | Category | Examples | Context | |----------|---------|---------| | **Impact** | WHAM! CRASH! BAM! THUD! | Punches, collisions, explosions | | **Movement** | WHOOSH~ SWISH! ZOOM | Running, flying, spinning | | **Emotion** | Thump thump, Shiver, Tingle | Heartbeat, fear, excitement | | **Environment** | RUMBLE, SPLASH, RUSTLE | Thunder, water, wind | | **Daily Life** | CLICK, SCREECH, DRIP, SNAP | Doors, brakes, drops, cameras | | **Silence** | ... (dead silence) | Tense quiet | ### Sound Effect Design Rules - **Size = Volume**: Larger text = louder sound, smaller text = quieter - **Tilt = Speed**: Tilted text = fast movement - **Color = Nature**: Red = destruction, Blue = cold, Yellow = electricity - **Position = Source**: Place near the source of the sound - **Font**: Use a different font from body text; handwritten feel recommended ## Show-Don't-Tell Principle ### Show Through Art, Don't Tell Through Dialogue | Bad Example (Tell) | Good Example (Show) | |--------------------|---------------------| | "I'm so angry!" | Clenched fist, gritted teeth in close-up | | "This place is dangerous" | Cracked walls, bloodstained signs, warning lights | | "A lot of time has passed" | Changing seasons, grown trees, rusted objects | | "I started to like her" | Eyes drifting toward her, flushed cheeks | | "This is a precious object" | Trembling hands carefully clutching it | ### Emotion Visual Codes | Emotion | Visual Code | |---------|------------| | **Anger** | Forehead veins, shaking frame, red background, gritted teeth | | **Sadness** | Rain/snow overlay, dark tones, slumped posture, tears | | **Joy** | Bright tones, flower petals/light rays, wide smile | | **Fear** | Wide eyes, darkness, long shadows, trembling hands | | **Surprise** | White pupils, halo effect, startled posture, sweat drops | | **Tension** | Narrow panels, consecutive close-ups, dark-light contrast | ## Page Transition Techniques ### Scene Transition Methods | Technique | Description | Use Case | |-----------|-------------|----------| | **Cut** | Immediate scene change, no connection | Time/location change | | **Dissolve** | Two scenes overlapping in one panel | Flashback, daydream | | **Wipe** | Diagonal/horizontal scene split | Simultaneous events | | **Match Cut** | Object in Scene A matches object in Scene B | Metaphorical connection | | **Color Shift** | Color change indicates time/mood shift | Past (sepia) -> Present (full color) | ## Text-Image Density Balance | Scene Type | Text Ratio | Image Ratio | Panel Count | |-----------|-----------|-------------|-------------| | Action/Combat | 10-20% | 80-90% | Many small panels | | Daily Conversation | 40-50% | 50-60% | Medium uniform panels | | Emotional Scene | 10-20% | 80-90% | Few large panels | | Exposition/Flashback | 30-40% | 60-70% | Narration boxes | | Comedy | 30-40% | 60-70% | Large panel for punchline |
