R095 – Characters and comics
This is a portfolio unit. It's worth 35% of the final mark for the course.
You'll be given the portfolio part when you're ready to do it, but not until you've been taught about characters and comics.
The portfolio part of this unit is supposed to take 12–15 hours to complete and is made up of three tasks.
Portfolio tasks
The portfolio for this unit is split into three tasks:
- Task 1 – client needs and planning
- Task 2 – creating the character and comic and evidencing with screenshots
- Task 3 – testing and reviewing
For task 2 it's really important that you evidence the creation and editing of the component parts of the comic – the panels, the images, the character etc... There's a whole line of the markgrid that is to do with this. It's common for people to provide little or no evidence for this, and the overall mark suffers.
