Finally an Idea

During the our second out of three lessons we have to plan for our child's film we actually had an idea that does not at any point mention Fidel Castro which is an achievement in itself.
We were looking into the Lemony Snickkets and Ronald Dahl books for some "insperation' however while looking through some of the introductions to the films of the books by these two men we came up with a idea. It came from realising that in these books there is usually a non average person, this does not mean weird but that they can be more interested for example. They are sometimes escaping the real world somehow which they do not like into a world they prefer. By escaping the world we do not mean getting on a rocket but getting out of realism by example of imagination.
So from realising this we came with the idea of a kid who dislikes school. He likes to imagine exploring places.
The current idea we have for the introduction is that its showing this kid in these exotic locations for example in a forrest or cave. The camera does not show that the kid is actually only near some trees or under a table until the last bit of the introduction when also of a sudden while the kid is dreaming he is in these locations he hears someone yelling his name, all of a sudden the camera will show he is actually for example under a table and it will show him getting out and going to lesson.
The reason we chose this genre which is adventure is because children enjoy that sort of genre as it can capture their imagination and its fun for them to see these weird places and ofcourse because the adventure genre suits all the criterea for the u or PG certificate.
The way the certificate has influenced our creative choices is quite a lot, we had to chose from a smaller choice of genres which meant that some of our ideas would have to be scrapped when we were originally brain storming ideas due to not being suitable for the certificate.
