Conventions of a Children's Film Opening

Our film conforms to the conventions of a children's film opening. This is done through the introduction of the macro-elements in our film opening. The macro-elements are narrative, setting, characters and genre.

Narrative-a narrative is established in our film opening. This was created when we made our storyboard. Having a narrative helps to engage the audience and makes them want to keep on watching the film to find out what happens.

Setting-a setting is mainly established when we used the green screen, this is because you are able to see more of it unlike the wooden table on which the rest of the opening was filmed. This connotes that it will be the most important/most used setting in this film.

Characters-there is only one character introduced in our film opening. This helps to connote that he is the main character as he is the first that audiences see.

Genre-a genre is established when the man walks into the pencil case and comes back out in a fantasy setting. This whole process suggests to audiences that it is of the adventure genre.

We feel that we managed to incorporate these conventions quite well into our children's film opening, but we also feel that there is room for improvement (include more to make these conventions stronger within our film)
