PITCH: PART 1By Karishma Thakeria

PROPS & OBJECTS As my film is going to be animated and has only one

main character (which is the white/grey mouse), the props are going to be used by this character, these include: a paper airplane and a trampoline in which the mouse will use to try and reach the Moon. I want to depict the mouse as being quite adventurous and imaginative, despite being a petite character. By the mouse having these characteristics will also help to reflect on the genre of my film: adventure. Another object that can be considered to be a prop will be the piece of cheese left outside the counter in the neighbour's kitchen (during the film). The mouse will climb up onto the cheese and start to eat it. This will also help to reflect on the storyline and the title of the film: ‘What if the Moon was made out of cheese?’

LIGHTING

All the action that is taking place within my animated film will take place at night, this is to create a fantasy, fairy-tale-like atmosphere which will help to engage with my target audience. Also, this is partly to do with the title of the film depicting the mouse believing that the Moon is made out of cheese. All of the internal lighting (such as in the kitchen/home) will be quite dark whereas the external lighting will be a bit more vibrant but will also have dark lighting to create verisimilitude. I don’t want the lighting and colour scheme to be too dark as this will make the film look like it is part of another genre and I want to keep the content suitable and appropriate for my target audience.

BACKGROUND/FOREGROUND

Within the foreground, the protagonist will be visible. A variety of shots will be sued to portray the character and the surrounding area in which he is placed. The background will contain the surrounding area which will be quite dark with some vibrant colours. This will help to keep focus on the character and add more attention towards him.
