Cartoons impact children’s lives, conveying positive and negative messages. They can boost learning, imagination, and language skills while encouraging future aspirations. However, they can also have adverse effects. This report analyzes the effects of cartoons on children.
This critical report and its audio video presentation will focus on and gives us brief information about the production pipeline in the field of Visual Effects. It will tell us more about the overall procedures that takes place in the current VFX film industry.
My final critical report looks like the following:
Original quote:
Original quote: The authenticity of a documentary is ‘deeply linked to notions of realism and the idea that documentary images are linked to notions of realism and the idea that documentary images bear evidence of events that actually happened, by virtue of the indexical relationship between image and reality’
Horness Roe. A. (2013) Animated Documentary. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.
Paraphrased quote:
The documentary’s legitimacy is directly connected to the understanding of realism as well as the concept of its imagery which has the proof of events that had occurred in the past on the grounds of the indexical relationship between image and reality.

Week 5: DESIGN FOR ANIMATION
“CAN ANIMATION BE A DOCUMENTARY?”
‘Animated Documentaries’ a visually artistic form in which documentaries can be portrayed. Not all documentaries can be depicted in the Animated form, such as Live action where most of the footages are already seen in a live action format, also a clear live footage would be preferred by the audience rather than an animated one. But in certain instances, Animated Documentary will be the best choice in order to portray Abstract thoughts or an event that has not been witnessed by the people or have no records of it.
In illustrating the abstract things such as Ideas, Thoughts, Feelings etc. animation would be the best choice. For instance, RAY the Oscar winning animated short film which was created by Chris Landreth.
In the documentary Chris was successful in portraying the life of Ryan Larking, where he shows an artist’s greatest fear which includes addiction, panhandling which happens on the streets etc. Computer generated Characters were used in the entire short film where he interviews his friend Ryan and his thoughts as well as how he feels. Thus animated documentary is an artistic way to depict facts and feelings to the audience.

For the homework I picked the movie The Kungfu Panda
- Hero: Po the clumsy Panda
- Mentor: Shifu the little Kungfu master
- The Sage: Oogway the one who knows the peace
- Rebel: Tai Lung the Villain
- Friends: The amazing 5 (tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, Crane)
- Father: Mr. Ping The Chef
The Stages of the films are as follows:
- You: At the start, Surprisingly Po gets selected as a Dragon Warrior even though he is an employee in his dads Hotel.
- Need: To learn Kungfu from Scratch.
- Go: To impress other warriors.
- Search: His way to be capable of the name of dragon warrior.
- Find: Ways he can master the art of Kungfu.
- Take: Defeat the fated Villain.
- Return: Return as a Dragon Warrior.
Change: The Villain has tremendous Strength as he himself had a goal of becoming a dragon warrior.
Timeline:
Presumably, Po the Panda worked in his dad’s hotel until the day he got surprisingly got selected as the dragon warrior by making a dramatical entrance. Since then Po started Learning Kungfu from the scratch. It was difficult for him to learn the art as he was constantly humiliated by his skill in Kungfu.
The timeline becomes much shorter as he undergoes training which was needed the most to fight the fated Villain. Which later on in the movie he becomes capable of the title of The Dragon Warrior while earning the respect from each and every person in the movie.

Week 2: Design for Animation
Introduction:
Films and Television deeply affects the people in day today world. Its impact is directly proportional to the behavior of the human being. Not all of us are influenced by these concepts but it depends on the main focus of the person.
For example many children watches TV Shows so that they can escape the world and simply enjoy the cartoons, music, or many other things. Where as some children watch television so they can gain more information about their studies or understand their studies better.
Some of the children get easily influenced by these Television shows and start acting the same way the character or the hero of the show does, which in fact can cause a negative influence on the child.
Thus, children are influenced in a much more greater percentage by watching televisions and films.
