Comparing "Pitch of Dreams" to "Space Jam"

Our main character was Little Jimmy who was played by none other than James Chivers who was participating in his favourite sport of football, and this is meant to be his young self, just like the beginning of Space Jam apart from the time of day, the place it is set in and the sport that is being played (Basketball).   Also the ethnic groups are different but the message of working hard to achieve the goals are the same. After watching this film children may also have the urge to go outside and play football, just the same as if they watched Space Jam they may want to go and play Basketball or even Baseball which is also shown in the movie which promotes a health and active lifestyle.

Screen Shots


What can our target audience learn?

Our target audience can learn about the importance of following your dreams and having the determination of never giving up no matter what, which is a positive moral framework for our audience. They can also learn that sport is a part of a healthy lifestyle. Family support is also portrayed during this film through the relationship of the father and son.

Finished Children's Film - Pitch Of Dreams

Pitch of Dreams
We are happy with

  • All the shot types we used during the filming process were varied and worked well for example the use of the close up shot before the final shot is taken.
  • The editing at the start of the video when the image of space fades into the sun is effective.
  • The music we created in garageband is good because of the fast tone and this will interest our audience
  • The imported sounds also work well for example the sound of a crowd chanting works well with the visuals.
We are not happy with
  • The environment we had to work in because a lot of ambient sounds are in the video when we don't want them.
  • The dialogue could have been clearer for our audience as it was not always easy to hear.
  • The title used at the end of our clip could have been better if we had more time to use photoshop.
  • We could have used more elaborate credits if we had the time to use photoshop.
