We aim to target an audience from the age of 6 – 12 years old because we believe the language and terminology used will be suitable for this age range but still including features like cartoon images and colourful frames to appeal to the younger ages of the age range we aim to reach.

Who?

The programme would be suitable to be played throughout the day ideally before and after school hours until children's TV finishes around 5:30pm.

They had been in and out of different homes all their lives

A couple visits their home looking to adopt and their luck is in because the couple have asked to adopt the young boys

After a few meetings with the boys it was finally time to see their new home and they were in for one hell of a surprise…

So Far…We also aim to use ‘Premier Pro 2.0’ to create image montages and animate images in order to create an atmosphere for children. We have already practiced this on ‘Premier Pro 2.0’ as show in the surrounding screen grabs. We used the ‘Motion’ tool in ‘Effect Controls’ to create the spinning path of the cartoon house we will aim to use in the opening title sequence.

We have designed a potential logo to use for our children’s TV drama opening sequence. We used a font which is used in the children’s film Ice Age so that we can make it look appealing to our target audience. We also picked various bright colours to attract the attention of our target audience.

Soundtrack

We have strict rules for using copyrighted music within our coursework project so we will have to find a track we are legally permitted to use or use a non-copyrighted sound track. There are also various programmes that you can download to a PC and use to create your own music like ‘Cubase’ which is also an option if we cannot find a track that we think is suitable for our coursework piece.

Research

We have researched into current children's TV drama opening sequences and found that the correlation between them is that they all last an average of 23 seconds from the 5 we researched. Therefore we shall aim to make our opening sequence last around the same time as this.

Thanks
