As it is still slightly unclear who will play the lead role of the mysterious character, it is not something terribly important, as the character will be covered. It is a matter that will be resolved once we start filming. Camera work and the editing afterwards will also be decided then, howver it will inevitably include everyone joining in and helping with everything, as a group.

Also, I am able to bring in a big, black trench coat, as a prop, as it is the closest I can get to a cloak. It will be okay though, just wear something with a hood underneath and you will have a cloak - like thing with a hood.

The location of filming will be in the art gardens on the school grounds. We are using this location as it conforms to the stereotype of medievil times that believed in sorcery and magic. They had not had such luxuries such as cars or trains to pollute the earth, thus the earth would be full of deep green forests.

For example:

This is the forest in the film Lord of the Rings. Even though the film is not set on Earth, but Middle-Earth, the idea of landscape is very similar to what we are trying to acheive in our own Childrens' Film Opening.

Another example of landscape:

This is the landscape that an anime in based on called Princess Mononoke. It is a childrens film, and the entire film is based around the forest and the spirits in which live there. It is also unclear exactly whereabouts the cartoon is set, but it is set in olden times, and conforms to the magical/adventure genre.
