Analysing a children's film.

Kick me - Rocket productions.


Near the beginning of the opening sequence they introduce the name of the production company and all the people involved in the production. They also introduce the name of the film, these are done in a clever way that keep with theme of the film, they do this by writing in all on a piece of paper and sticking to the main characters back.
The film is suitable for children because it doesn't have bad violence, the children can relate to the film because its takes place inside a school. It also has a magical touch to the film by the way that the main character goes back in time, this would reel the viewer in because they would want to find out how this happened and what he's going to do now that he's here. 

The character costumes are pretty basic and just normal clothes that someone would wear to school, apart from the farmer he has a proper costume to suit the character of an old fashioned farmer. Also using the setting of a field with mist/fog in the background it makes it feel like its actually in yorkshire because thats the typical weather. The sound throughout the piece is quite tranquil and ordinary apart from when he's being chased by bullies the beat speeds up when he's running and also when he disappears and re appears there is a magical sound clip. The standard of the editing is very high especially when he's sitting still and others are appearing a disappearing around him like ghosts.

This makes a good opening sequence because it introduces all the characters and the locations where it will be set, it introduces the main plot of the story and reels the reader in and makes them want to find out whats going to happen.
