Concept development

Through the theory of learning with stories it tells us that children should read and use their imagination rather than relying on television and Internet.

- Living world / Spirit world

- (the death of)  a child's Imagination

- Adults imagination: Use a child's perspective

- Child : Teaching them to read and use imagination

  Adult : Teaching them to think like a child

- Fairy tale : Story of tooth fairy. A fairy that comes in the night and takes away television from little children that watch t.v too much.

- Work with NSPCC. Child abuse. Pop Up book? : pull tab to throw a punch. (Hard hitting)

- Magic camera : 

1/ With a simple video camera, the child uses his imagination to create stories. 

2/ From the point of view of the video camera, you can see the reality of what they are filming. 

Similar idea to the movie : Son of Rambo

Plot : A long English summer in the early 80's and two boys are about to form an unlikely friendship. Will Proudfoot has been brought up in a strictly religious household, forbidden to watch TV or listen to music. But after Lee Carter, the school trouble-maker, blows Will's mind with a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood, Will's easily persuaded to act in Lee's home-made movie sequel. Armed only with a camera - "borrowed" from Lee's brother -- and their limitless imagination, the pair plot stunt after stunt, dodging teachers and family all the way, as they do whatever it takes to finish their masterpiece in time to enter it in the national Screen Test competition. 

Directed by Garth Jennings (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), SON OF RAMBOW is a heart-warming nostalgic comedy about two boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions.

- Abducted :

1/ Teach children not to go with strangers

2/ Teach parents to keep an eye on their children

- Child's imagination : A brother and sister are told to use their imagination and tell a story through a single image.

1/ From the perspective of the first child. He starts to think what he could draw and we travel through his thoughts on a series of adventures.

2/ From the perspective of the second child. She begins to draw page after page of black crayon much to the concern of her parents. It is only at the end that you discover that the pages form a much larger image that may surprise you!

The last idea involving children's imaginations is what we have decided to develop...
