I decided on going for the Harry Potter scene, from 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince', in which Professor Dumbeldore- the headmaster- dies at the hands of Snape, another Professor. I felt that it was a scene a lot of people know and love, and would hoepfully therefore grab the attention of those passing when they see an animated version of it.
I wanted to use shots from the scene itself to give more recognition for those watching...
...the scene then takes a twist when the falling Dumbeldore lands on an unexpecting Harry Potter doing magic tricks at the bottom of the tower. For the Snape and Dumbeldore scenes thoough, I needed to ake sure the relationship and status of the two was clear to those who don't know the characters, so decided to give Snape a reason to zap him- at first thinking that Dumbeldore was trying to fire him, but then it seemed to come across clearer if Snape was trying to fire Dumbeldore, leaving Dumbeldore to then smugly remind Snape that he is the Dean (changed from headmaster to give more of a link to universities) before he blasts him from the tower.
Its then revealed that the advert is for the NSS, and that this particular segment represents students problems they may have with their tutors.
There are some shots in here that I thought would work nicely in Flash- such as that with the full shot of Hogwarts Castle, working with floating clouds and flickering lights to use limited animation to create the best effect.
