Treatment

Working Title --- Super Dooper

Concept
Troublesome teen who gains super powers but finds it difficult to use them, are his powers more trouble than they are worth?

Purpose
What you can do if you put your mind to it

Desired Outcome
Recognisable to the audience, easy to turn on and watch even for those who have never seen it before. Each episode different and fun but with familiar faces and themes which are easy for the audience to relate with.
We want to introuduce only a couple of characters in the title sequence - just the main characters - The "superhero", "villain" and "best friend or sister"

Audience
‘9 – 14’ as main target audience. This relates to Superhero themed films that are around right now, which are 12a certificate.

Were interested in the look of a flip book aswell, so may attempt to incorporate this into our

What sort of texts are you influenced by?
Mortified because the dynamics of the title sequence – fast cuts and fun animation
Neds declassified – again due to the fast cuts and childlike captions and narrative exposition

What sort of texts might you want to be different to?
