Extended Practice Studio Brief 9 Brief

Brief Title - The Last Guard Comic

Brief - This brief is to produce the first issue of a potential comic series that I have been working on with writer Ewan Moore, This is an extension of Studio Brief 2 but this time I want to produce the full comic and redo the pages that i already did for the pitch as I don't feel they are strong enough in relation to what i want to produce.

Product - The product will be a 32 page comic as well as a front and back cover, the comic will work both traditionally and digitally.

Tone of Voice - The comic is set in post apocalyptic Britain thirty years after 80% of the population disappeared, the way we've tried to make our comic unique from the other post apocalyptic comics out there is that ours is going to be quintessentially British and we really want to try and find the beauty in the British apocalypse where as many other post apocalyptic media is based in deserts we want our comic to contrast these, It's also a story about survival. This will mean I'll be looking at beautiful landscapes and vibrant colours.

Audience - he audience for our comic is 16 - 35 year olds, mainly British people but I think our version of Britain is the romanticised idea of Britain that will also appeal to an American audience. I want to keep the audience gender neutral as I feel the emerging female market of comics like Saga is a big market we could tap in to and strong female characters are a big part of the comic.

Context - I want to create a comic in a similar vein to series such as Y the Last Man and Saga by Brian K. Vaughn and Zero and Wolf by Ales Kot and Matt Taylor. The Great Salt Lake by Matt Taylor is another touchstone for the series.

Additional Notes - This brief is an extension of Studio Brief 2 and now i have more time to dedicate to this project I feel that I would be able to produce a much stronger project than I could whilst also focussing on COP.

Deliverables -  A 32 page comic as well as a front and back cover.
