When deciding the main structure of our OTS we looked at many different opening sequences and the different styles that were out there and that were successful. 'Bagpuss' is a personal favourite of mine from my child hood and we especially liked the voiceover style in it; the introduction of the characters, the setting and the situation. This is one of our style models and one of our influences for our piece.
Our music style we want to be very simple, similar to that of 'Bagpuss', we want to combine it with the more modern style of the music heard in the background of this 'Peppa Pig' intro. We want to find a tempo between the two and a simple but modern melodic tune to have behind our voice over. More detail on the music on Hannah's blog here.
After previously looking at all the different kinds of animation used in children's TV programmes we decided to go for a more simplistic look, with simple block colours similar to in this 'Humf' intro. We also decided to use lighter, more diluted colours in our piece rather than the bright colours in these trailers. We posted more detail about our animating style on Hannah's blog here.
