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.
