Comic description

So in this comic I use the insides of my gaming PC as the setting and Legos as the characters. I chose Legos because they were small, they fit well inside of the PC and they overall contribute to the correct scale of the comic. I chose the insides of my PC since they represent a complicated location and I had control over the colors of the insides of my PC using a gaming app called ASUS aura. in the app you basically have a dashboard where you can configure the colors of the motherboard of your PC as long as the motherboard has LEDs and is compatible, like any ASUS device. In the app I picked the color red from the selector and then set the mode to static so it doesn’t change, ultimately it gave the feel of an alarm sounding off even though there is no sound in graphic novels, but it was just a play on human nature. Secondly I begun by situating the characters inside the computer in a way to make them grand. I have used this video ,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI7lfp-TjQ8 , as means of learning how to shoot miniatures at an attempt to learn how to properly photograph the little LEGOs. It consisted of three different characters each character has a role. So The first character you see speaking is supposedly the guardian of the heart and he wakes up to hear the alarm. I place him right under the LEDs the snap a picture of him as though he is in a state of panic, I take this moment to introduce my second character, the medic, I snap a picture of the medic responding to Tory’s call on a white background as though to signify that there are no other distractions or characters more important than him in that shot. I then introduce my third and final charter when the medic arrives with his assistant and they greet Tory again, in this shot i have the medic and his assistant greeting Tory at the same place where i took the first shot of Tory while he was panicking. Next The medic and his assistant, Clark are photographed on the second flight in Eugene’s heart and i used my graphic card to represent that as they talk about what could be causing the heart attack. At this point I also introduce the location since it had change from where Tory was explaining that this was a different sector in Eugene’s heart. In the next image I photograph Clark alone as he attempts to fix the alleged issue but fails, the image is in the same exact location but without the medic to be seen. Then I take the same image where Clark seems to have fixed the issue. Then I go back to the ASUS Aura APP change the light spectrum to green as a signification of Eugene’s well being and the alarm being stopped, in that image only the medic is seen on the same ground as Clark just from a different angle. We know go back to the first angle where they all first met, with the green light still on, where Troy thanks the medics, they hop back on and they leave. i close with Tory alone, on the far left side of PC but on the same ground, the green light still unchanged where he is seen in relief and the end. To edit I have used Canva where in the first image I used the comic strip template from the templates section, and added all my images in chronological order. Then in the first image I used a beep onomatopoeia from google, that i uploaded to Canva then pasted it six times on to the image where the LEDs and the alarm is implied. i then referred to the elements tab where a found a speech bubble, I copied it and when back to the text tab where i inserted text boxes for each of the text Bubbles i copied. I then edited all the text to my preferred script and voila.
