We will be starting a comic unit when we come back after the holidays. You will need to understand the following by the end of the unit:<\/p>\n
Target audience<\/strong> – who normally reads each of the comics, what pleasure they get from it, what need is being met?<\/p>\n Narrative structure<\/strong> – how is each comic normally laid out, what similarities are there between different brands of comic, what is each comic’s unique selling point?<\/p>\n Stereotypes<\/strong> – Which characters in the strips are stereotypes of how certain groups of people are supposed to behave? (For example which characters are stereotypes of heroes?)<\/p>\n Colour<\/strong> – is the comic strip in colour? Why\/why not? What does the choice of colour\/monochrome (black and white) tell you about the comic strip?<\/p>\n Institution<\/strong> – the people who make each comic earn money from it and it is their business. Work out how they make a profit from their comics.<\/p>\n It will help you if you actually buy a real comic to look at. These can be found in your local newsagents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Use these links to look at some online versions of comics: http:\/\/www.moosekidcomics.com\/ http:\/\/www.beano.com\/ http:\/\/www.dandy.com\/ http:\/\/www.oorwullie.co.uk\/ http:\/\/titanmagazines.com\/t\/simpsons-comics\/?locale=uk http:\/\/www.dccomics.com\/comics http:\/\/www.asterix.com\/ \u00a0 We will be starting a comic unit when we come back after the holidays.
