Fixing the Concept

Target audience: children age 6-10 year old

Children’s personality:

- They are curious
- They have different way of looking & interacting with
their environment

- They still fresh (they don’t think so much issues)
- Love to play
- Love to watch cartoon, funny, superhero movies
- Love to be entertained.

Based on their personality above, I decided to create a short animation under the theme of global warming, it is going to be made in 2d flash style. My aim is to educate young child to care about the world in a humorous way. The storyline has to be made in a very simple way and children age 6-10 year old can comprehend the story well.

Characters:

1. a boy
2. a father
3. Mr. S (Sunlight)
4. Mr. G (Greenhouse gas)

Storyline:

GLOBAL WARMING SUPERHEROES

One day, there is a boy and his dad walking down the street, the weather on that day is very hot until they get sweaty. The boy starts asking his dad, “I feel so hot dad.”, then his dad replies to him, “you’re perhaps wondering why today’s really hot..”, then he continues, “This is because GLOBAL WARMING!”.

His dad then explains the cause of global warming by telling a simple story of how the sunlight is trapped in the atmosphere because of greenhouse gases block the sunlight. The story goes into the unreality world, there is Mr. S (sunlight) flying into the world and going back again to the sun, but in the middle of his way, (Mr. G) greenhouse gases blocks his way and starts hitting Mr S. Afterwards, a view of the earth appears sad and crying (because its weather’s too hot) and those Mr. S will appear around the earth.

Back to the real world, the boy asks his dad again, “how to prevent that situation?”, his dad answers “ for you as a kid, you can use your bike than a car/bus.”. . the boy then use his bike and he’s turning into some sort of superheroes, using cloth, helmet and so on. A picture of that hero will then appears in a TV, which the boy and his dad are watching it. After that, the boy asks again, “ what else dad?”, his dad said “Turn off the TV if you’re not watching it!”, Then the boy get a TV remote control and turn the TV off. He will then turning again into some sort of superman or batman.
