Week 1 revise - Shaun Tan's, The Arrival

I thought it was amazing how much of a story you could convey using no words and only pictures. I thought it was very effective for a wordless comic. I thought it was very much like an animatic the way it was moment by moment to close together rather them sweeping moments.  The body language is really important in wordless comics and The Arrival does this very well, i thought the body language was amazing. I thought the storytelling was really good and amazing for no words and was really nicely done. The emotion really comes through too in the story through the facial expressions. 

Overall i liked the story, i thought it was interesting and i liked trying to figure out what was happening without words and you can interpenetrate it in a lot of ways because their are no words telling you exactly whats happening. I also thought it showed the passing of time well like the scene with the clouds, you dont need words to understand it. I liked how surreal some aspects of the story was and it shows well someone going to a new place they might not understand to make money for their families back home.

Very effective storytelling for no words, good use of facial expressions and body language. very interesting story.
