3. Can you summarize these aims as a concise statement?

Animation campaign that focus on adult as the audience but merely focus on children impact.

4. Can you convert the concise statement into a question?

5. What other question do you need to ask to help you answer the main question?

i. Why the animation campaign sometime cannot be understand?
ii. How to touch the emotion of the audience using only SFX/Music and play with Light and Shadow?
iii. What character can attract the attention of the audience especially the kids?


My research on animation character brought me to watch The Song of The Sea byCartoon Saloon animation company. The story was about the magical creature that have a strong related with the two kids character. Even though the character is cute and suitable for kids, but I think most of the viewer of this movie was adult. Kids love the cuteness and the colourful environment of this movie but only adult can translate the message that had been given in this movie to the children.
