Panels 7 and 8

My inspiration for the first panel of the page from Assassins Creed: Revelations (Ubisoft, 2011) opening cutscene. 

 I didn’t have any sketches to base this set of panels from, but one of the largest influences on the first panel was from Assassins Creed – with a disappearing almost ethereal figure amongst a crowd. This was storyboarded as a lone smaller panel, but I felt that having the close up of the assassin’s expression and the flashback inner monologue added additional fluidity to the narratives flow.

This second panel was important, despite the lack of visuals, as it acted as a clean cut between the poisoning scene and the chase scene – which are two distinctly different locations. Furthermore I was planning to experiment with panels during the chase so that this could also act as a visual segue between the two.
