Planning film opening

Planning

I have decided to work alone, and the genre which I have decided to aim at was a children's film, this allows the target audience to be young children who are above the age of 6 years old. I plan to make my film about a young boy who against his will is told that he would be moving to a new country to start off a new life however he feels as if his current life will completely be forgotten about. The film will consist of three characters the mum, younger brother, and the 8 year old boy. There are three different places of which the film opening will cover the house, the block of flats, and an outdoor scene going through a park.

Planning permission was not essential when filming as the first scene was done at a family friends house and the walk through the corridor did not expose any other persons identity of  their property. The scene which takes place outside is in an open plan community, therefore as the boy would only be running through it, it was not essential to get planning permission for that scene.

The representative of the film was for young children of the age of 6-11, therefore the film would consist of content and dialog of which its target audience is able to understand and relate to, through doing this it would make the film's purpose more clearer. Which in this example would be never to run away from home even when the going gets tuff.


The main character of the film is a young boy who goes by the name of Luke, Luke is a very bright friendly and welcoming boy however as like most children feels as if his point of say never gets across. Luke has a younger brother called Sammy and despite having an age gap Luke tends to always care and look after his little brother and in fact this is the reason why Luke returns home from being astray. The other two characters who are shown in the opening are Luke's mother Rachael and little brother Sammy, all three of them are extremely close. However as a mother all of Rachael's intentions are to look after both of her boys through protection love and care.

The titles which would be included in the blog would be:

  • "SMT production"
  • "Written By"
  • "Directed By"
  • "Starring ...."
  • " Presents"
  • " The lost boy.."
