Characters- The narrative of my short film will feature two main protagonists (cat and puppy) which will be apparent from the beginning. There will also be a couple of stock characters, which will just be the legs of the owners (will be no dialogue).
Narrative structure- The narrative of my animation will convey a simple message about friendship which the audience can learn something from. The story line will be very simple, with the puppy trying to find different ways to get the cat to play with him.
Themes and ideologies- My theme will follow the codes and conventions as it will be a comedy cartoon, which will feature a message.
Iconography- My animation will include many iconic features. The narrative will include slap-stick comedy which is very conventional of short animated films aimed at children. It will also feature a happy ending where the cat will end up needing the puppy, but even after all the mean things that the cat has done to the puppy, he forgives the cat and helps her. A non-diegetic soundtrack will be played throughout which will help to re-enforce the characters actions and further narrate the film.
Styles- The style of my animation will be very similar to that of Roobarb and Custard, however will more colour and detailed. The lines of the animation will be less rough and therefore the animations movement more fluid. Only certain elements such as the characters and some objects will be in colour as I will have to hand colour each image which will be very time consuming.
Audience response- The response from the children who watch my animation will be of laughter from the comedy elements; however they will also hopefully learn something from the message/ moral of the story.
Target audience- The target audience for my short animated film will be children as they are the main viewers of cartoon programs and films.
