Mermaid Forest was not very appealing to me at all, except for the moral behind the story. The moral was very touching and made me reflect a lot on what a look to in life. The idea of taking advantage of a situation and begging for more than you need, to then have it nip you in the butt is something that I always try to avoid. Throughout my life I have made it my mantra to try to help as many people as I can and to be as selfless as I can. So the moral was the only thing that really kept me hooked in the piece. As far as imagery I was lost after the first few pages.
Throughout Mermaid Forest the images were very dead. The facial expressions of the characters were very minimal. There was never a happy or a sad it was just a slight twitch of the lips up or down. There is an excessive amount of close up and mid shots and the viewer gets lost rather quickly within a scene. The only thing that has the slightest bit of detail are the environment shots. Without their extent of detail the whole piece would be lost entirely. Mermaid Forest has a good concept as far as story behind it, but personally the representation of it through images was very distracting and did not read well.
