Unit 55 LO2: Be able to use appropriate technology and processes to produce graphic narratives

LO2 Aim: Produce Graphic Narrative using appropriate technology and processes to a technical quality that reflects near professional standard, showing creativity and flair and working independently to professional standards

Vibe productions require you to explore ideas independently and produce effective and well thought-out original ideas and designs that are then incorporated into effective graphic narrative products (Flip book, novel and film) approaching near-professional standards. Examples will show a very high technical standard as well as creativity and flair, technical skills being applied not just with imagination but also with ingenuity, and codes and conventions being used with occasionally surprising results. Preparatory material will closely follow industry conventions for presentation, and production work will reflect the high standard of design and preparation. You will show that there has been a clear progression from original designs to your completed work, which itself evidences creativity and flair. Independent application of high quality technical skills will produce a portfolio of near-professional standard. In all practical activity, distinction grade learners will be capable of working autonomously and effectively. The term ‘working independently’ means that you are able to work on you own initiative, do not need constant support or supervision, give the work your full commitment, work positively and cooperatively with others, and meet deadlines. In other words, you have the kind of self-management skills that would be expected of you in a professional context.

You are required to complete the following as part of your production:

1. Produce a flipbook using digital photography or hand drawings – The flipbook must show movement and link in with your novel and trailer as part of the overall theme of your portfolio. You will submit your flipbook and upload a film of it showing movement.

2. A front cover for your graphic novel or magazine publication using image manipulation to create the desire effect for your chosen genre / theme

3. 4 pages of narrative using appropriate layout and design and using image manipulation to create the desire effect for your chosen genre / theme

4. A 1 – 2 minute trailer of your comic using your manipulated images and adding voice overs and sounds

5. Health and safety: Links to and screen shots of Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH); display screen equipment regulations; safe practices in studios and workshops

Extended task If you would like to produce a poster for your publication you can add this as an extended task for your portfolio of work

• Plot is apparent • Basic process used to

create product • Basic technical standard

demonstrated • Assistance needed

repeatedly during production

• Clear plot features • Several process used to

create product • Good technical standard

demonstrated • Occasional assistance

needed during production

• Creativity and flair evident in final product

• Excellent technical standard demonstrated

• Production monitoring system in place

• Works independently from assistance

• Costs recorded • Deadline met

• You must show how you have developed your product and reviewed and re-worked it – uploading the final product with no evidence of improvements will only warrant a pass grade

• All 4 products must connect and share the same theme • Your digital photographs MUST be manipulated in Photoshop for them to gain a

grade – the process of manipulation must be captured via screen shot and uploaded as evidence of manipulation
