Intial ideas for children's opening sequence

Our group has chosen to use a U classification. This means that there are no special effects made to cater for adults. The target audience is children between the age 5 - 12 as the BBFC believes that at teen years tastes begin to change. The beginning has to include a positive, moral framework and offers reassuring counter balancing to any fear, that is suitable for children to view alone without needing parents to explain the storyline. There should be no strong lanuguage or discrimatory behaviour, drug use, violence or sexual content. In addition, there should be no portrayal of realistic or accessible weapons.

So far, we have decided that we will use live action and the genre will be fantasy/comedy. The characters will include binary opposites which will portray the moral of the story to the audience. We will also use a narrator to give introductory comments to guide the audience.
