Choosing a Story

It is really important to make sure we use our questionnaire results effectively so that we can create something that our target audience will like. These are my too considerations;

The Gingerbread man

Imagination - If we used puppetry to create the Gingerbread man, this element would require imagination as well as that most of the characters are animals and so this too would require imagination.
Comedy - I see the elderly couple whom bake the Gingerbread man as comedic characters and it would be easy enough to give their characters jokes. I also think that food puns could be comedic however I'm not entirely sure if our target audience would understand puns. 
Songs - The phrase 'Run run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread man' can be, and has been many times before, turned into a song and could be used through out.
Adventure - The adventure would be one through the town, starting in the couple's cottage, then with the passing of the pig, cow, horse, (or whatever characters we decide on as different versions include different characters) and finally the fox in the river.
Magic - A lot of the magic will come from the scene were the Gingerbread man is brought to life with the elderly couple. I see a lot of potential for this.

The Three Little Pigs

Imagination - Similarly we will be playing animals, which we could use masks for, and so imagination will need to be used for the audience to believe in the characters.
Comedy - As our main characters are Pigs I'd like to make lots of jokes along the lines of Bacon, ham and pork which could be incorporated. Once again puns could also be used although the same problem still occurs.
Songs - Songs will be a little different for the pigs as I believe we will need to be more independently creative as there are less resources online for the pigs. Although we do still have the phrases 'Not by the hairs on my Chinny Chin Chin' and 'I'll Huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down' to work with.
Adventure - The Adventure with the pigs will be from moving out of one house, gathering their materials, and each pig travelling to the next's house. The character of the wolf could also add some adventure.
Magic - More of the magic with the pigs would be in building the houses, there are so many possibilities and ways that we could do this.
