2. Why we chose the title
We choose this title because when people refer to old
facts they say “an old wife's tale” and this is history
within itself. Meanwhile the storyline is actually
about an extra wife, therefore the title is a pun.

4. The story
1 young boy and 1 young girl (brother and sister, twins) are failing
history. They get a letter sent home from their teacher explaining
they show no interest in the subject, they have a joint project set
for tomorrow’s lesson that must be completed. Their mother is
unimpressed so she sends them both to their bedroom. In the lesson
the teacher gave them an old book that has not been used in 100s of
years that they must work from to gain information for their
project… and when it is opened they both share an opinion of
‘history sucks! Why does anyone care what happened all them
years ago?” the magical dust that flew off the book takes the two
children back in time to witness 1 event that happened in history.
5. …
They are taken back to the 1500’s in Tudor times to witness and
extraordinary event that nobody is aware of. They are taken to a
scene in Henry the eighths home, where they see something that is
not right. They have a flash book to one history lesson where they
are taught a song about Henrys wives. “Divorce, beheaded, died,
divorced, beheaded, and survived” and they realise that the person
who is henrys current wife, was not included in this song!!!
Something is not right?!Henry spots that these 2 children have
seen what has happened, and has an outburst that they have
witnessed something that nobody yet knows. Henry then chases
the 2 children around his house, and they come across a room…
which is glowing. They open it, and appear back in their bedroom!
6. Will they tell Henrys secret to change the views
of history?.... or will they keep it to themselves?
7. How the film is different.
Our film is different because it has an unusual storyline with a
cliff-hanger at the end. Children's fantasy films do not usually
have cliff hangers so this film will be unique!! The film has a cast
full of stars that have not been in a film together before. The cast
appeals to children as well as parents because it has a varied cast
full of stars this is why the film will be interesting because parents
will want to watch it as well as the kids. Our film does not
have a normal convention of our genre fantasy, and this is why our
film is different.
8. How will we create interest in the
film
To start with we will make a trailer for the film that will
appear at cinemas, on TV and on the internet so that it
can be seen by many people. As well as this we will put
massive posters up on billboards, in cinemas and on the
side of the busses.
