OLD VS. NEW

The principals of animation have clearly developed over time. For example, The lucky strike advert that was made in 1948 was in black and white, the cigarette characters were just cigarettes they didn't move very smoothly or use the principal or arcs at all. Whereas Bob the Builder which was made exactly 50 years later, was in full colour, it was life like because of how fluent the movement of the characters were and it used the principal of arcs in every way. As time has progressed, people have learnt more and more about stop motion such as, more frames create a smoother animation. They have also discovered that using different camera angles is effective because we can see things from different points of views which is more realistic. 

I think that Wallace and Gromit used the most principals of animation. The characters use the principals of arcs in all they ways that they can which makes them seem life like. Also wallace and gromit have the best examples of the principal of gravity for example, when wallace falls down from his bed into the dining room he doesn't stop before he continues to fall like in some animations where they break this rule. 

The children's TV show Bob the Builder, is the best at targeting its audience. I think this because it has bright colours and the talking tractors would seem real to young children because of how smooth the claymation is. It also uses simple camera angles which children would be able to see everything from to understand what's happening better.

GENRE, AUDIENCE AND STYLE

I think that Claymation is the best type of stop motion for an audience that are teenagers or older. This is because with claymation you can do anything with it; create different shapes and sizes that you might not able to make in other types of stop motion such as live action and 2D paper stop motion. For example, T is for Toilet : ABCs of death by Lee Hardcastle. This claymation contains blood made from clay which might not be as effective when done in live action and paper stop motion. 

I also think claymation is the best type of stop motion for horror and gore genre because of the creative freedom of  using blood, shootings and murders etc. because it might not be as possible to create in live action and other types of stop motion. 

I CERTIFY THAT THIS IS MY OWN WORK
