Sound should be turned on!

Proposal

After much thought I have settled on an idea.

I propose to create a webcomic that explores the thematic and narrative conventions of various film genres. These genres include Film Noir, Westerns, Science Ficition and Horror. My comic will be a mashup of various genre in a single comic.

This webcomic will incorporate more then just static imagery. I intend to use the medium of the internet as best I can. To that end my webcomic will use animation, sound and degrees of interactivity.

Initial research has revealed numerous examples of genre working throughout webcomics, including one particualy effective horror comic. I intend to draw upon these examples in order to create something unique. the final product should, hopefully, be an interactive comic that uses animation and sound to effectivily convey themes and convention of filmic genres.

Initial Ideas

At this point in time I'm very unsure of my project.

One potential idea is the remediation of a comic book. I'm aware that there are a range of web comic that exist but most don't use the platform of the web browser to its full potential. most web comic are a series of static images, however the web browser is capable of so much more, including animation, sound and interactivity.

I'm also keen to explore how different genres can be represented in web comic form. I think it would be interesting to explore its potential application for horror, film noir or westerns.
