Ideation and Concept Development: Project Idea 1

What is the central theme/topic of the video?

This video is based around storytelling. It is inspired by the storybook openings of the old Disney princess movies, which were introduced by a narrator while on screen a book magically opens.


What is the action that will unfold in the video?

The audience will see a large closed storybook sitting on a table in the middle of a room that looks as though it belongs in a castle. This shot would be fairly wide. Then the camera will move closer and tilt so that it is looking down on the book. At this point the book will slowly open to the first page.


What specific kinds of media do you imagine?

I imagine this video using a combination of photos to create a room in a castle. I think that it would help reinforce the association with storytelling if I also used a recording of a narrator introducing the story, which would be like a voice-over. While I am not sure about the difficulty of achieving this, I would also like to experiment with adding illustrations to the pages of the book.


What would be needed in order to execute the video?

This video would require footage of a book opening, some photos to be combined into a backplate for the scene, a recording of a narrator's voice to introduce the story and, possibly, some text on the first page of the book.


What do you imagine the context/action for this video to be?

This video would be the introduction of a movie based off a fairy tale.


Who is the expected target audience?

My target audience would like children, parents and anyone who enjoys watching the old Disney princess movies.
