The boy in the stripped pyjamas - Title Sequence






This is the story board for The boy in the stripped pyjamas. This movie is set during world war 2 which is why the credits are quite plain and one of them has the flag with the writing in front of it. This is to give us a good impression of what the film is about. The film is seen through the innocent eyes of an eight year old boy who is the son of the commandant of a concentration camp. The last of my pictures on the story board is showing Bruno the son pretending to be an airplane and enjoying his time with his friends. It shows the naivety of the boy as he doesn't really have any idea what is going on in the world.  The music played behind these pictures is a very slow instrumental and makes you feel instantly connected to the way they want you to feel. on the second board there is a quotation that says 'childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows' my interpretation of this quote is that when your a child nothing matters and all the worlds faults don't affect you until your grow older and everything becomes clearer to you. This film shows exactly what this quote is referring to as the child doesn't really know what's going on in the world and the innocence of that is show when he meets a jew who he becomes friends with. This quotation is done on a black background possibly to show the dark world that is out there.
The font seems to be small and white. The genres of this film are drama, thriller and war. The target audience for this film could range from about 14 years and older this is because it might be to confusing and intellectual for a younger audience but it could teach children alot of things.
