Own Ideas

Live Action:

-Interactive

-Green Screen

Animated:

-Puppets

-Plaster-scene

-2D Animation

We decided to choose a mix between 2D animation, and live action film after watching this trailer from the film "Space Jam". We thought it was fitting, due to the fact that it's a kids film, and it's age rating is PG. We wanted to do a mix between 2D and live action because our group couldn't decide on doing either 2D or live action, so we mixed the two.

Some ideas we came up with for things to incorporate into our film:
- Use of puppets
- Use of green screens
- Live action
- Play-doh
- 2D Animation

Some ideas we came up for Story Lines were:
- Super hero girl who lands on a foreign planet / weird world with aliens and lasers.
- (Animated) Speaking pig finds human friends and then switch lives "A Twisted Tail" (Bud-dum-tish)
- A person on a computer finds a website were a character (animated), comes to life and sucks the child into the computer. (Willingly)
- Small child meets a talking dog with magical powers and goes on magical adventures to save their tree house (Their house).

The twisted tail



Inspired the computer story



This one also inspired a twisted tail

U Rating

U - Universal
- Must be suitable for ages 5 and up
- Must have a positive moral
- Must be suitable for children to watch alone
- Balances out threats with reassuring nice things (E.g. Rainbows and stars)
- No Drugs, Discrimination, Extreme Violence or Cursing
- No sex or sexual references

Why Toy Story 3 meet the criteria:
It meets the criteria because it doesn't have any scenes of extreme threats that weren't overcome by Woody and his friends. There's no sexual or drug references throughout the entire film, and the plot line isn't too complicated for children to follow. It also gives the positive moral of friendship and sharing.

Comparing the differences Wall-e and The chronicles of Narnia

Firstly the differences between the science fiction clip; Wall-e, and the adventure film; Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian are how one is set in the past, and the other is set in the future. Wall-e is a movie about a love story between two robots, where as Narnia is a story about a group of friends who stumble upon a hidden world, where they have to save the people of Narnia. Wall-e is presented in animation (CGI form), and the Chronicles of Narnia is a live action film, with CGI special effects (E.g. Animals and Creatures).

Jumanji opening

Sound - Starts with spooky tension music to set the scene as well as the animal noises such as birds and wolves. When burying the game diegetic drums start to play giving suspense to the audience. There is also dramatic thunder adding to the tension. When the jungle scene finishes the music is quickly turned cheerful to fit the scene. Later on the music increases in tempo when some action is put in.

Toy Story opening

The film opens with still shots to introduce the story and characters. The happy music and bright colours suggest a happy environment. Meanwhile the titles are scrolling in plain white to not distract us from the main bit of the film due to the type of the target audience. Lastly at the end of the opening we are finally introduced to the problem, 'The party's today!'

Childern's film, Preliminary task

By  doing this task we learnt how to use the camera and work well in a team. We also learnt the 180 degree rule and also the most effective way to get the camera shots we wanted. However we had to re-film a few shots because we missed out filming them.
