Layout
Panel: This panel consists of 3 frames covering the whole page. The panel is about Fajer the bear looking at the horses galloping towards him and being frightened. Ali is the one who made the horses run towards Fajer.
Frames: All of the three frames are a rectangular shape and the top one is the biggest, bottom one the second biggest and the one in the middle is the smallest. There aren’t any overlaps in the frame.
Gutter: There is equal space between the frames however for the bottom two frames; there is space on the side which isn’t equal to the top frame.
Bleed: There are no images which extend beyond the edge of the page.
Foreground, mid-ground and back ground:
For the first frame in the foreground, we can see Ali chasing/ frightening the horses to make them gallop towards Fajer. In the mid-ground, we see the horses running away and the little stones give an effect to the fact that the horses are running away. In the background, we can know the time. We see that the color of the sky is yellow and orange which shows it is about sunset.
Additionally, in the second frame in the foreground, we see the back of Fajer the bear. Also in the mid-ground we see the horses galloping straight towards Fajer and as said before the little stones flying up give that effect. In the background, we can see smoke coming up which shows the continuation of bombing.
Finally, in the third and last frame in the foreground, we can see Fajer surprised and knows that something bad is going to happen or he is going to die. There is particularly no mid-ground and the background is just one color red. This might resemble the fact that the next scene is going to involve blood.
Graphic Weight:
For the first frame on this panel, we can see that there is most graphic weight on Ali the baby lion because first of all, he is the biggest in the picture which makes him the subject. Also, since Ali says something, it draws the attention to him. Finally with the colors, Ali has a different color to all the horses which makes it stand out.
In addition, with the second frame, there is most graphic weight on Fajer the bear. All the mid-ground and background consists of bright colors such as orange, yellow and white. However, the only dark thing on this frame is Fajer the bear which makes it gain attention.
In the final frame, there is most graphic weight on Fajer like in the second frame. A dark colored bear with a red background shows that the subject in this specific frame is Fajer. Since the bear has a darker and a deeper color than the red, Fajer is the focus in the frame.
Figures: None of the two are related to this panel.
Text
Captions: There are no captions in this panel.
Speech balloons: This could be an external dialogue or an internal dialogue. It could be an external dialogue because there are exclamation marks in this panel and also it looks like the bear Fajer is shouting at the lions. However, it could be an internal dialogue because of the shape of the speech bubble. It is different to when Ali speaks. Also it could be him murmuring himself.
Special-effects lettering: There were two words in this panel which were bolded and they are tongues and cavalry and this is to emphasis the words. And it could have been bolded because it is the important word in that specific text. It is to draw attention to the words but there were no words which reinforced the impact of words.
