Barbie and Ken - Plot and Responses

The main plot line for my short film is how Barbie and Ken meet, they fall in love, have a baby get married and are supposed to live happily but Barbie finds out Ken cheated on her with Cindy, so she turns to drink and smoking and her life goes downhill. She becomes really strung out and tired and goes down a downward spiral. You then zoom out to see that it is actually people playing with Barbie and Ken dolls, with a real life person who looks exactly like the real life Barbie. They are trying to explain to her what her life may end up like if she doesn't get a proper education and skates through life of her looks.

I pitched my idea to my class and they all commented on it asking different questions about my idea.
There different questions were;
1. Do you mind that the stop motion would be a bit unclear?
2. Do you think you have enough time as it's a lengthy process?
3. How do you plan to get the Barbie and Ken dolls to stand up on their own?
4. Have you thought about how long it will take?
5. Have you thought of the character that's going to play the real life Barbie lookalike, do you have a suitable actor?
6. Are you going to use a tripod for the real film?
7. Have you thought about whether you want to include dialogue, narration, or simply just music?
8. Are you going to use the same Barbie and Ken dolls, or ones from different ranges?
9. How are you going to do the baby?
10. Do you plan to work on the technique of stop-motion production to make it the best it can be?
11. Have you thought about what setting you are going to use for the stop motion?
12. Are you going to build the set yourself?
13. Will you be able to find an actor who looks like the doll?
14. Have you given some thought to the kind of music you might use to emphasise the emotions of the doll more?
