Beginning my graphic novel

Armed with the previous knowledge I had learned I began on my own graphic novel, I wanted to draw as much as I could of the graphic novel and hopefully finish it before I started to animate it and make it interactive.

So I began on the script. The script was easy enough to write as I already knew my characters and the short story I wanted to tell.  At it's core my story needed a protagonist who people could relate to and emphasize with, I adhered to Swain's (2008) advice who wrote "A story must revolve around a character who is wholly believable even if they are in unbelievable situations" (p151). This was important to me as my character would be in a science-fiction/action story with quite fantastical elements so if the character was not strong enough the story would fall apart.

With the above in mind, I decided to start the story with the main character being as 'in-the-dark' and as unaware as what had happened as the reader. The reader would find things out as he would.

Below is the first page of the script...
