OVERVIEW
My production will be set in just 2 locations. The first one, a
naturally lit path in-between fields, welcoming the viewers to
think of a nice natural sight. The second, a cave that leads to a
golden stream, firstly giving a mysterious look but then finally
giving a bright look to give viewers a sense of joy.
The ProductionIt starts with a mother, son and dog walking along a path and
they realise the dog has lost its bone. On a search for the bone,
the dog and boy find a dark cave with a glimmering light at the
end, so mischievously they both run to the end of it and find a
‘Golden Stream’. After discovering it, they both end up falling in
to which they escape by finding a pirate boat and jumping on its
life raft whilst trying to stay invisible to the pirates. After
successfully escaping on the raft, they hear a loud noise and
become anxious, although they find out to be the mother angrily
telling them to get out a puddle they had been playing in,
bringing the dog and boy back to realisation.
