Page 10: And then on page 10, bold, bright colors and larger shots with distinctive angles were chosen to demonstrate the importance of what had transpired.
A house can go up in flames within minutes. To explain why only Tristan was saved by Arthur, late nights when Arthur’s father was ‘working’, their mother would probably take sleeping pills. That also accounts for Arthur’s screams going unheard. This is actually common in many child abuse situations, as well as house fires that end in fatalities.

Page 8: Tristan is mentioned as Arthur’s twin sister, which is confusing to a number of people as Tristan is typically a male name. We fleshed out their mother as being very enthusiastic about The King Arthur Legends, in which ‘Arthur’ and ‘Tristan’ play integral roles. Most of the character names relate to their backgrounds or family history in some way and we didn’t feel that Tristan should or, more importantly, would be named differently because she was born female.

Page 7: The image of Arthur’s father on this page has two things that are important to his character: his priest uniform and his wedding ring, both in a very parochial shot. We realized there’s generally a standard of celibacy (and therefore, no marriage) for Roman Catholic priests as things were getting fleshed out. His character fits into a loophole created in 1980 in which priests of slightly different denominations (ones that allow married priests, for example) can convert to Catholicism and retain their original marriage. It’s actually quite an irritation to other Catholic priests and one that this character deliberately chose to exploit in order to be able to marry. It’s important to show both him in his priest uniform and with his wedding ring for us because it shows how far he would go in order to get what he wants and to establish his character more. Even though he has no dialogue in Chapter 1, we get a sense of what kind of man he is through his actions, which, after all, is what men of the cloth tell us: Actions speak louder than words.
