S1-24: Childrens Film Opening 2009/10

We decided to do a fantasy Children's film, a Muppet's Christmas carol.

You can immediately tell that the movie is a seasonal fantasy due to the titles and soundtrack used at the intro. Whilst the titles are showing there is snow in the background and the titles are festive so you can link this with Christmas. The soundtrack reminds the audience of fantasy also linking the film with this genre. The majority of the characters are 'Muppet's', these are famous notorious children's TV characters, they are bright and colourful suggesting them to be good. They are the binary opposites to the evil character Scrooge who is dressed in all black and is in a permanent bad mood. The storyline is already known because of the famous book, this book and the author is highlighted in the opening titles.

The genre, Fantasy, is represented by the characters being puppets. It gives the story a bit of a comical twist. They are treated as if they were humans, which adds to the fantasy element. You can tell it's a fantasy from the titles, because it gives it an unreal feeling as it is snowing at Christmas.
