Light Bulb Idea

In a cartoon, a lightbulb signifies an idea. Imagination and ideas coinside with eachother, so it will relate to more than just having a simple idea.

The setting will be a classroom, and all the children will have a lighbulb above their heads. it will actually be a real lightbulb above their heads, to ground the reality of imagination.

The teacher will act as an antagonist who turns off the lightbulbs. One child will remember his imagination, and his lightbulb will begin to flicker. After a while, the light will return and all the other children will remember their imagination. In the end of the idea the teacher will be blinded with the light and the darkness will be gone, bringing back the teachers passion. This was done to show that imagination in children is special, yet a teacher also needs to be there to help nurture this gift and let it grow fully. This idea seems a bit anachistic, but as much as we antagonise the teacher, she will be redeemed at the end.

The light at the end will glow brightly and bring about a more lively sound, eg children playing etc. The stablishing shot will be the outside of the school, dark and dreary and extremly bland. The final shot will be colourful and happy, which is a direct contrast to the beginning. This was done to emulate the stark contrast of the black and white in the Cartoon Network logo.
