Robin and I have chosen to use the song 'Antiques' played by his brother Billy Lubach who has given us permission to use his music. This piece of music has no lyrics and is played with instruments such as a ukelele and a piano. It fits under the folk/acoustic genre due to the acoustic feel of it and upbeat melody.
With no lyrics this gives you and Robin lots of artistic freedom. A strong narrative is important - and child to adult is appealing. Remember your target audience and the importance of appealing to your audience thus including aspects of popular culture - thus child transforms from child in a kind of 1950's (or earlier) costume into a young girl wearing high street fashion! Or? The idea of the timelessness of youth could be considered or time shift with the contemporary girl opening the lid of a box (Pandora's Box idea) and being transported into an earlier time, then back again!!!!! Thus suggesting dream or a confusion of dream and reality. I don't want to bog you down. Story boards will help you get a clearer idea.
Alice ad Wonderland....girl looking at the world as if through a looking glass....so the world is distorted i.e. curved lense where other characters/people look distorted. Low angle, tilt shots, colour flickering from black and white i.e. silent film style to a contemporary mise-en-scene......
Or Dorothy's world from Wizard of Oz.
Getting a narrative structure together is important...
