Sometimes we need to describe something, a place or a person, so our viewers can get to know them. Not for dramatic purposes, but to establish our baseline. High-Key lighting can be great for that.
This breakdown is super solid! Borrowing cinematography terminology for comics inking makes way more sense than inventing yetanother dialect. The distinction between revealing vs concealing information through lighting chocies is what often seperates functional layouts from ones that actually guide the reader. Those Moebius references are perfectly chosen, too.
Good point. Function must include narrative intent AND propelling the reader smoothly through a page. Challenge for comic artists is having to succeed on both counts. Thanks for the comment.
