My Pitch
Today i did my pitch it seem to go ok i could of thought out a few details better but over all i think it was pretty good, probaly not the worlds amazing idea but at least it was an idea that could of possibly been somethign bigger if more detail was added and i took ym breif into more consideration.
My next step now is to wait and see what projects got picked and if mine hasnt who's team i will be working on, as well that i am planning my essay and also sorting out my fiction uni where i have got some books out on burton to try and get myself into his mind set and see how he thought up his style that he has.
Overall some times i feel doing the two huge projects at the same time as well as an essay and a report its a bit too much and i have a problem with time and making sure i spend enough time on all the projects not just one or the other but i suppose once the ball starts rolling i can get into the rythem better.

Fiction Unit
Through talking to my tutor Helen i have found my style that i like and that would look good for my idea of a childs imagination coming to life. There is a band that uses the animation of the style that i like my work to look simular too and it will also complment the Tim Burton Poem i will be using to adapt.
The Used- All that I've got, This video really does play on a darker side of a child imagenation most of their video are dark and playing on phobias and i wanna keep to the dark feel to stay sort of true to Burton.
I have a back up plan incase i cant find a young child to use and that the idea goes like this,
Its a dark room and in a spot light you will see a young child drawing on with their toys around them the child is an animation and their pictures start off as an animation but they soon start to morf into real people and their world has become real while the young child is still lost in their world.
The Poem i will be using:
Vincent Malloy is seven years old
He’s always polite and does what he’s told
For a boy his age, he’s considerate and nice
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price
He doesn’t mind living with his sister, dog and cats
Though he’d rather share a home with spiders and bats
There he could reflect on the horrors he’s invented
And wander dark hallways, alone and tormented
Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum
He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie
So he and his horrible zombie dog
Could go searching for victims in the London fog
His thoughts, though, aren’t only of ghoulish crimes
He likes to paint and read to pass some of the times
While other kids read books like Go, Jane, Go!
Vincent’s favourite author is Edgar Allen Poe
One night, while reading a gruesome tale
He read a passage that made him turn pale
Such horrible news he could not survive
For his beautiful wife had been buried alive!
He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead
Unaware that her grave was his mother’s flower bed
His mother sent Vincent off to his room
He knew he’d been banished to the tower of doom
Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life
Alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife
While alone and insane encased in his tomb
Vincent’s mother burst suddenly into the room
She said: “If you want to, you can go out and play
It’s sunny outside, and a beautiful day”
Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn’t speak
The years of isolation had made him quite weak
So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen:
“I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again”
His mother said: “You’re not possessed, and you’re not almost dead
These games that you play are all in your head
You’re not Vincent Price, you’re Vincent Malloy
You’re not tormented or insane, you’re just a young boy
You’re seven years old and you are my son
I want you to get outside and have some real fun.”
Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall
And while Vincent backed slowly against the wall
The room started to swell, to shiver and creak
His horrid insanity had reached its peak
He saw Abercrombie, his zombie slave
And heard his wife call from beyond the grave
She spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands
While, through cracking walls, reached skeleton hands
Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams
Swept his mad laughter to terrified screams!
To escape the madness, he reached for the door
But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor
His voice was soft and very slow
As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe:
“and my soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
shall be lifted?
Nevermore…”

Childrens formatt for my idea.
Due to not being able to use actual children in my production i have to find away around this so i was looking into other ways on how to make a show for children without actually using them when i thought of this Horrible Histories came to mind. When i asked my litte brother what he was learning at school and his favourite subject he came back to me with this Maths and as we all know Maths can be the most boring subject if you dont like it so my challege ive set myself i to come up with a programme that it's aim is to make Maths fun for children.
Horrible Histories Opening Titles.
Childrens Programming- Studio Unit
Childrens T.V has always been bradcasted on BBC One but due to the digital switch over the home of chrildens T.V will now be moving BBC 's digital channel CBBC, The reason for this move is due to funding cuts.
"Children's programmes are absolutely fundamental to the BBC and that is why we have protected investment in them in the light of cuts elsewhere," said the BBC Trust." ( Taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20809627)

Survey feedback/ idea
Well after asking people what they thought t.v was missing all they could really tell me was what old shows they use to watch that are no longer being shown on t.v so taking this to mind ive realised that its going to be quite difficult to come up with a completely new idea so what ive decided to look at are a particular group of people that use to get a little show based around them and thats students and the show i am talking about is the young ones now taking the idea of using students but put them in a different set so rather than a sitcom i would like to do sort of like a hitch hickers guide to being the best student tips on how to safe money ad stll manage to go on holiday, i have a friend who is like a super student she manages to eat well yet still has spare cash to go to berlin for 5 days and she doesnt have a job.
The young ones- Aired in 1982-1984, "Four mis-matched university students share a house in North London: Neil, the hippy; Mike, the cool person; Rick, a would-be anarchist studying sociology; and Vyvyan, the punk medical student who is prone to extreme violence. Together with their bastard Russian landlord, the world of these "bachelor boys" is surreal and violent, but ultimately hilarious.
