Coraline Case Study:
BBFC chose the age rating PG for the film Coraline, The reason that PG was chosen (surprisingly) is because children's films are actually aloud to show some content of horror as long as they meet the criteria an the frightening sequences are not prolonged or intense.
"Many children enjoy the excitement of scary sequences, but, where films are targeted at a younger audience, classification decisions will take into account such factors as the frequency, length and detail of scary scenes as well as horror effects, including music and sound, and whether there is swift and reassuring outcome"
The film is considered to contain a lot of 'mitigating factors' which lesson the intensity of frightening scenes, these included moments of, comedy, fun and silly music. Also the reassurance of a happy ending in this film encourages the film to be a PG.

Character design moodboard
Summary:
My character is going to be a character who lives in the country, around forests, with a country fen sort of background. They are going to lead with their pelvis to show the structure and personality through physicality. He is a laid back character who doesn't worry about things and just tends to go with the flow. He is going to be independent for he lives alone, with a friendly personality though.
Keywords for Personality:
Friendly, Laid back, relaxed, Independent, Light, Lazy, Agile, Country Boy (Fen), Agile, Tall.

Character idea sheet
Feedback
The feedback given from my peers were useful, and gave me a lot of new ways to view my original ideas, and how to make them seem more interesting, they also informed me on which idea that thought would make a good animation, and a good viewing. My peers gave me ideas for 'Idea 3', they said that I could add in a pack of space whale's and make it like the film 'Treasure planet' - a very good film that has already been created, they also said it sounds detailes and it would be an interesting film. They also think 'Idea 1' would be good because it gives a different contract, for it is about Dasha instead of Rudolph which makes a change, which they think would be good. They gave me quite a few ideas on how I could make the animations more detailed and how I could expand my idea. I am thinking of carrying out either 'Idea 1' or 'Idea 3' because my peers gave me the best feedback on them, and also I believe they could be crated in an interesting way.
Animation process
south park:
South park was originally going to be done using cut out pieces of paper, but because this would take such a long period of time they decided to do it computer animated, it tales five days to make as the animators work night and day over these days, once they have created the show, the start up a new episode over the next five days and so on. It is aimed towards adults and also older teenagers as it has a lot of adult humour in.
peppa pig
The animators and creators of peppa pig use a process called quantel paint box to create peppa pig it is pointed mainly towards television animation and also focuses on graphics within the animation. Peppa pig is a kids 2D hand drawn animation, they used the same drawing for every character of the pig family just varied in sizes, and all of the characters are very basic drawings for example the nose is on the side of the face rather than central.
dot
Dot is the smallest animation process created as it is done using a microscope, it was done for Nokia to demonstrate how good the camera is on that particular phone. They used pieces of string, and knitting and wire to create the background, and for the character Dot they created about 50 sculptures of Dot, as she is to small to be moulded into position.
