Animated cartoon characters in films

Animated cartoon characters

Many artists create animated cartoon characters to tell stories. A very famous animated cartoon character is Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney created him in 1927.

Any animal or object (fruit, car, toy, utensil...) can serve as inspiration to give life to a character, as long as it has identity and personality.

Observe the frame and choose the elements used to create the two characters. Write the answer in your notebook.

Cinematic shots

Cinematic shots

Cinema uses different shots to tell stories. The main ones are:

Wide (or long) shot: The characters are seen whole, from head to toe. This shot is used to put the character in a place and to show their relationship to that place or to other characters.

Medium shot: It frames the characters from the waist up. It gives importance to the subject and the background. It is used for dialogue scenes. Close shot: It focuses on the character’s face and shoulders. It is used to show how the character feels because it enhances their emotions.

Set design

Set design

The set design is the set of visual elements used to set and represent a film, a musical or a play. The elements of the set are the decoration, the lighting, the characterisation (costumes, makeup), etc.

With a partner, describe the elements of the set design in the image of The Lion King (decoration, lighting, colour, characterisation, etc.). Then, answer: a) Where does this set design transport us to? b) What elements of the set design give you this impression?
