Artefact 4

The plot of my fourth artefact describes the puppet tried his best to move the refrigerator back home. He is quite happy and whist he finds a socket on the wall. So he wants to test the refrigerator and to see if it works. However he can’t find the plug at the moment.

Through this short humours animation, I intend to explain the anticipative psychology of audience. It means that the person stop to performance temporarily when an accident accrued to a person. Time is left to the audience to think about the consequent things and actions. When the person performs the result to the audience, the audience will feel surprise and the result is reasonable as well. In the other words, it can be simple explained that unexpected scenes are seen in the animation, while the consequences arising there from usually go against the common sense. This is the charm of the animation.

Let’s take my artefact for instance, the puppet is glad to remove the refrigerator back to home. When he immerses himself in his joyance, the accident happens. There is a close-up before the final answer has been reveal. The audiences could be guess what’s happened to the ending at this moment. Finally the consequence is that he can’t find the plug of the refrigerator that means all the things he did is ineffectual.

I think the anticipative psychology is the most common technique skill which is used to employ the funny elements in the animation. The anticipative psychology always combines with exaggeration thereby emphasis the impression of humor to audience.

I also used abundant facial expression to explain the inner emotion of character. In this artefact, I tried to make the facial expression looks more real. In the other words, I didn’t adjust eyes; bows and mouth reach the same key. Moreover, for expression, right-and-left asymmetry is applied, which mainly represents on character’s eyebrows and mouth. In my previous artefacts, expression used to reach the designated position, which was quite rigid. Staggering them slightly makes character’s expression naturally.
