Transcription

1 Task: Your task is to create the first edition of a new comic book. This should introduce your character and how they got their powers. You should end your edition on a cliff-hanger to encourage people to buy the next edition! Plan how you will launch your comic. Where will you advertise? Who is your market? How will you generate income? What members of staff will you need and what will their job involve? You will need to: research comic books and heroes create your own hero plan and produce your comic book present a pitch to representatives from a publishing house evaluate your work Research: Use the spidergram on the next page to help you research the comic book genre. Explain the differences between the following and give an example of each: Graphic novel Manga or Japanese comics Bande Dessinée British comics American comics Remember that your research notes do not have to be presented as an essay. Spider diagrams, flow charts, time-lines, annotated images and extended bullet points are all valid ways of presenting the information. Choose the style of presentation that best suits you and the information you are trying to give Page 1 of 5

2 Narrative structures Date first comic published Institutions / organisations producing comics Iconography Regulatory bodies Social, ethical and moral issues Comic books Typical content and presentation Representation Style and tone Character functions Price Key developments in the genre Forms and conventions Target audience Page 2 of 5

3 In order to create an authentic hero for your comic book you will need to do some research into existing characters. Fill in the chart below with details of two comic book heroes. You should also include an image of each character, either drawn or printed out. If you prefer, you can label your image with information rather than completing the chart. Information Character 1 Character 2 Name Age Gender Place of birth Family history Appearance (costume, distinguishing features) Weapons and mode of transport Powers or strengths (include how they were obtained) Vices or weaknesses Friends and enemies Everyday persona Page 3 of 5

4 One of the perils involved with being a superhero is that you are always present at crime scenes. As a result you have been arrested on more than one occasion! Fill in the following record with information that could be found on the police file of your superhero. Top tip! For inspiration, try visiting to help create your hero! Mugshot: Name/alias: Age: Place of birth: Gender: Address: Appearance and distinguishing features (e.g. a mole, limp ): Costume: Weapons and mode of transport: Powers/strengths: Vices/weaknesses: Family history: Everyday persona: Known associates and enemies: Page 4 of 5

5 Producing your comic: Keeping in mind all the ideas you have gathered from your research, you should begin to produce your first edition. You only have to create the first few pages but you should have planned the outline for the whole of the edition. Make sure that your ideas are easy to follow. Boxes should be read from left to right of each A4 side and from top to bottom - you may want to number them or use arrows. Be sure to use the conventions associated with comic books (e.g. speech bubbles). Check that your work is eye-catching and imaginative. Meanwhile, in the study... He thinks back to a time he can barely remember... Why did they leave in such a hurry? 10 minutes later... POW! Thank you! When you have finished your pre-production and production work, pitch your comic book to members of your class who will act as representatives from a publishing house. Your pitch must include all the key information about your comic, present your hero and explain your idea for the first edition. You should explain who your target audience is and the USP of your comic. Try to make your pitch interesting as well as informative! Evaluation: How did your research inform the decisions you made when producing your comic? Who is your target audience and how do you plan to appeal to this market? Which publishing house would be most likely to produce your comic? How successful do you think your work is as a media product? How does it conform to or subvert the expected conventions of a comic?
