Steranko's Narrative Theory

This article talks and compares different forms of graphic storytelling such as comics, animation, film, and compares them with each other. Steranko mentions the different types of shots/angles involved in storyboarding. An interesting part is when he is comparing different arrangements of the same three shots and how they tell different stories depending on how they are arranged.
The most interesting part about this reading, in my opinion, was when Steranko talks about how he plays certain music to match the art he is creating in order for him to get inspiration. I really like that idea and I'm going to try to do that to see if it will work for me.
He gives good advice on making graphic stories. The last thing he mentions is really interesting. He says that a technique he uses in his storytelling is to actually pretend that he is the character/in the situation himself and then tell the story from that perspective.
