Child Safety Project - Developing Ideas



We liked the idea of having a teddy bear showing the child all of the hazards in the home. We weren't sure on how this would work without the video being patronising to the parents so we looked at what the information in the Red Book that is given to all new parents had on home safety.
We thought we could include the house that is in the book and animate it with information and dialogue explaining each hazard.
The group then had a better idea that would combine the first two ideas and have the Red Book open up and the house lift up like a pop up book and the camera zoom into each room and have the teddy experience the hazards, in the least graphic way possible. For example he could be swinging from a blind cord.
In the end we would see the teddy trip and start to fall down the stairs, to which the screen would go black and the sound of the bumps of falling and then stars appear with the sound of a baby crying.
After this we would put a message up saying something along the lines of children are not made of cloth and stuffing, Is your home safe for exploring?
