BLACKSAD
Díaz Canales & Guarnido NORMA EDITORIAL One detective has to investigate a big number of cases and mysteries. Of great acceptance among young readers, for its police plots, and its black novel atmosphere.
The characters are animals, and that contributes to make them more expressive. An angry walrus is much more effective than an angry human being. The same happens with a dirty pig as a waiter. Imagine it!!!
Violence and agressiveness is present, but controlled sin some way, because they are shown through animals, not people: it is highly recommended to read this book in a class. We can see the authors' skills to handle shots, sequences, and all the aspects related to cinema, because they have a professional past in it. |

- Look for clothings. In several of the books look for vignettes in which you can see people dressed in clothes from other periods: people with suit and tie, one dress, a police uniform, a bluesman, etc. Make a copy of them, cut them out, and stick them on a borad, to show them to others. - Along the Blacksad series there are secondary stories. Look for them and consider how they take place at the same time as the main plot. - Make groups of four people. Each groups has a mission, find samples of film shots: the group in charge of CLOSE-UPS, MEDIUM SHOTS, AMERICAN SHOTS, LONG SHOTS, FULL SHOTS. Once you find the samples, copy them and cut them out. Stick them on a board and show them to your fiends. You can also give a short speech on them. - Play the scriptwriter game. Choose one mute sequence. Imagine you have to write, over those vignettes, a sequence of boxes with toughts, descriptions, etc. - The animals game. You are a scriptwriter and cartoonist. What animals would you choose to depict these human psychological features?: WRATH / PATIENCE / SWEETNESS / SENSUALITY / POWER / A BULLY / A MAFIA CHIEF / A MELANCHOLY ARTIST / A SPORTSPERSON / A CLASSIC BALLET DANCER - Choose your favourite page and talk about ir to your friends. Tell them why you chose it (may for the vignette composition, for the colours, the dialogues, the silence, the action, ...) |
