Childrens Film Ideas

We are planning to make a childrens set in the college forrest, it will be a PG based action film. We are planning on a action packed, scary start with an anti-climaxwhen the film will turn into a comedy. This will stop the young audience from being afraid, however it will hopefully create a dramatic tension. Our target audience will be male and females from the ages of 8-12. In order to do this we have researched films with the same target audience and seen how they represent characters, and the tactics that they have used throughout their opening sequences.
