After a quick brainstorm we came up with a few potential ideas for our children's film opening sequence. Here are some of our ideas:
Narrative
The main theme of our children's film is mixing live action and animation together which would take place on a piece of paper (only in context not literally). Josh and Fil masterminded an idea to create a film based on a dog in a bin, the initial idea, while simplistic, did not seem to be the adequet storyline for a film. We have not yet decided on the full storyline, but we have the basic idea of a child creating drawings which come to life on the page.
Genre
We discussed many different genres, including: comedy, fantasy and adventure as all of these would be appropriate for children. Although horror may not seem suitable for our target audience and this is why this idea could go one of two ways A) spotting a niche in the market and then filling it with a new genre of kids film or B) the idea could go horribly wrong and scare the children leading to many complaints and the film not being recieved well.
Characters
As a group we breifly talked over this subject, but not in much detail. We have decided that there will definitely be a child, male or female, appearing in our sequence as one of the mian characters. We are just not sure on the animated charcters as yet.
Inspiration
We had thought of having our title seqence as animation and had a few ideas but weren't really sure on how to put them together. So once we had found this clip we could see more clearly in which direction we should go with it.
This video, taken from youtube is also part of our inspiration for our opening credits, however after reviewing it we came to the conclusion that it would be to complex and time consuming to produce to a good quality.
Another idea that was thought up by Lydia was to have pencils rolling acorss the frame and the words could follow after as the film will possibly be based on drawings.
