Initial ideas.

Short film

Brief

A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with two of the following three options:

  • a poster for the film;
  • a radio trailer for the film;
  • a film magazine review page featuring the film.
My Idea

Title - 'Bernie the Brave'
Kids film - use young actors.
About bulling.
Fantasy - knight, princess, dragon.
Animated dragon.
Poster and a magazine review.

Plot idea: Young girl playing with a teddy bear. Three older boys come along and take her bear from her and tease her with it. Bernie a young boy sees them and stands up to them, he tells them to give her teddy back but they won't. Bernie imagination turns the situation so he is a knight and the young girl a princess and her teddy a baby. The three older boys become a Hydra. Bernie defeats them and returns the teddy back to the girl.

Opportunities
  • New skills and equipment - animation
  • Work with younger actors
  • Present a moral
  • Create costumes for the knight and princess
  • Chance to use a green screen.

Threats
  • Animation will take longer to create than live action
  • Keeping within 5 minutes
  • Mixing animation with live action.
