PRODUCTION: CREATING A COMIC BOOK

After confirming a 'super hero' will feature in our music video it came to my attention that a comic book customised to our needs would have to be created. I therefore researched ways of creating a comic strip without having to use any complicated or expensive software. I googled 'making a comic strip' to which marvel had their own game to which the user is able to create his/her own design. After selecting a template i was able to create my own title, 'The Dance Chronicles'.

I then researched images of dancing characters and other images that would suit our scenario. For example, the image of the man's head shaking form side to side is what we intend to use in our music video. Our character will 'feel' the music in him and start to move his hands and feet, ultimately leading him to a dance trance. The character will read the comic in the opening of the song and everything that features in the comic we created will become a reality for our character.

The comic is also important at showing particular words to the audience such as 'He couldn't stop'. These sentences on the comic will be shown to the audience as our character reads the strip. This helps reinforce our idea that the fantasy world that our 'geek' character reads about will turn his world upside and become a reality for both him and the audience.
