LO2: Explore the feasibility for further development of the main character in future stories across different media formats

Tv And On Demand

My comic book could potentially be turned into a cartoon series on Tv channels such as Cartoon Network and kids shows such as Nickelodeon. This could be broadcasted early in the morning. This is because kids wake up for school. Because my comic book has a educational element to it as it includes the school subject science. This means that my series will be child friendly and appropriate for kids tv. My comic book would be turned into an animation as it would be easier to make the comic book into a moving animation. The episodes would be released weekly. I would also advertise the TV show for all new episodes this will create more viewers for my show.

Radio
To advertise my comic I could advertise my comic on radio. These radio adverts can be aired in the morning when kids wake up for school around 7-9. I could promote the comic using heroic and epic music. This appealing to the target audience. These adverts could be put on BBC Radio 2. This could be advertised during their short story section dedicated to kids. The radio could also be used to advertise The Adventures Of Science Man on other forms of media such as the TV series and print. Also for the radio show, there could be a Q&A to the cast. Also there could be talk with the penciler and inker. This appealing to the big fans of the comic. The music for the radio show could be the music used for the animation. Also the music alongside this would be age appropriate and upbeat and happy this to go alongside the superhero genre. The radio show would be used as a way to advertise all forms of my comic.

Traditional Print
Leaflets and posters would be given out around schools. This will show the title of the comic and show the main character aswell. Also denoting information on where to buy the comic. On the print there is an image of the main character Science Man on it. On this poster it will advertise the other forms of the story on different forms of media featured around the sides of the print in bold to make it appealing. This alongside bright colours will appeal to a younger audience as kids like bright colours. The bright colours will be in the housestyle of the comic. This helping the branding of the comic.

Screening Events
A local release would be more appropriate as the audience for my comic is not big enough for a national release. So a local release at the Odeon or the Showroom would be more appropriate. As my story for my comic book is educational as it is about science it will educate the audience such as kids. The event will appeal to kids with access to colouring book with science man in them.  If the event is successful then the Odeon will generate a lot of profit and will have more events like this making them create a lot of profit in the long run. The profit from drinks and food being bought during the event making this a very important business opportunity. As it includes families spending time together thus creating more people buying drinks and food.

Online
A dedicated Instagram account could be created to enhance the Science Man brand. Instagram is suitable because Instagram appeals to a large variety of people including young parents and young people. This also appealing to digital natives with young kids. With Instagram I can promote the comic book using images of scienceman and provide links to where you can buy the comic and read. This being a link to iTunes where they can download the comic. The photos will appeal to the parents because they can show the kids and get the kids excited.

The Adventures Of Science Man

Created By James Pryke

Storyline
My main Character for my comic book is the superhero "Science Man" His real name being DR David Rogers. A PHD scientist who created multiple experiments that can be seen slightly lethal. Upset with his creation, he used his chemicals for good and took out various criminals. Whilst decreasing crime he made the police seem obsolete and made some police officers redundant. This angered one police officer particularly Alexander Gaul. He became so annoyed with Rogers he created his own super power and became freakishly strong and tall. Science Man and Captain Gaul have battled for months now. My comic features one of their battles where Gaul is so close to winning by making the biggest chemical weapon in all man kind and has only one target he want to obliterate. Science Man has to dig deep and pull out his best creations to save himself and the world.

Character And Backstory
My main Character for my comic book is the superhero "Science Man" His real name being DR David Rogers. A PHD scientist who created multiple experiments that can be seen slightly lethal. Upset with his creation, he used his chemicals for good and took out various criminals. Rogers was bullied at his school for being too smart. To tackle this he started to create prank chemicals because he was sick of being lonely. With his family paying all their money to send him to Oxford University he made sure he became the smartest in nuclear science.

Target Audience
My comic targets a young demographic however a slightly mature one as well as it uses weapons in a slightly negative way. However the way the characters are presented, using bright colours and slightly simple drawings. There is no inappropriate language and content this making it appeal to kids and teenagers. This also appeals to anyone in education as it glorifies science and will make kids want to pursue in it. This will appeal to the teachers as they can use this comic as revision material for their classes. This also alongside with the bright colours and simplistic designs appeals to their minds.

Genre
The genre of this comic will be completely action and adventure with a sub genre of sci-fi this being because of the supernatural super villain and the super natural superhero creating impossible products. These drawings will hopefully in the style of multiple action comics such as Marvel and DC.

Publisher And Art Style.
My comic would be suitable for Marvel to publish the comic as Marvel are a publisher that create mainly superhero comics with comics like Iron Man and Spider Man. Also the art style of my comic would be suitable as it will be a more American style of design, not designs such as Anime and Manga. Also because Marvel are an American Company so this style would link with their nationality. Another good publisher would be DC comics, they are a rival to Marvel with their darker style of design. As they publish comics such as Batman and Superman. These comics being the second biggest superhero comic book company.

Copyright
The Adventures Of Science Man is my own original comic book series. This series all being created by me. This means I'm not using copyright material meaning I make all the revenue from this comic. Also I take all the job roles such as inker and pencillers. Also anyone will have to gain permission to use any of my assets.
