Animation Evaluation Approach Critique

I have chosen animation HUNTED (HD) Horror Animation created by Leoncio Mercado. As we can see, this animation has horror genre thus the audience should feel scared and haunted.

My criterion is Audience should feel haunted while watching the movie to the extent where they imagine horror things when night appear.

Based on the animation created the flows of the story must be attracting especially with its storyline to get the audience into the story. From that I put principle of animation which is one of them is anticipation. Throughout watching the animation there is some overeacting movement and expression where can make the audience anticipating for next scene shown by human character with the corpse. There also connecting character between the human and the trr. It is unique to see when the storyline and characters does not reach the logically and realistic mind but still have its quality and attractiveness.

Now we go through scene by scene. This is the very beginning scene.

                              

As we can see, audience anticipate what the car and the human doing in the middle of the scary night, thus getting the audience to watch more to answer their question. This beginning scene the audience maybe doesn’t feel anything yet.

  

                              

Then, audience’s question answered when they saw the above scene. They know the human kill someone and want to bury the corpse. After that, there will be two situation where audience still attracted or not based on their judgment on the beginning of the scene. Audience that feel attracted will continue to watch while the others maybe quit. Thus, the beginning of every animation is important in order to make sure the audience will stay on watching it. On the 2^nd picture shows where the camera view focus on the corpse as something will happen to it. Again, audience anticipating.

   

The next scene, by watching human expression shows the human hearing something unusual. The human looks around while burying the corpse. This can make the audience again questioning what is it? A ghost? Somebody? And much more. From this, the audience started to feel something scare where maybe some of them imagine they are in the same situation.

Above scene shows where the corpse is moving, this causes audience even more anticipating then even attracted to watch more to answer the question and also even more scarier as unrealistic and illogical things happen where the corpse move by itself.

This scene shows how scary are the human is when seeing the horror tree moving. In this timeline, audience which immerse in the animation will feel the exact same feeling of the human. This what profesional animator is where they can make audience response to their animation. They make the audience feel and immerse into the character. Since this is horror animation, the audience feel haunted.

    

The last scene showing the human swallowed the human can give big impact where this is the time audience finish their judgment and making conclusion. Although the tree character are not that scary but seeing the human been swallowed is already enough especially for kids where they start to imagine things.

   

Thus, my conclusion is Audience should feel haunted while watching the movie to the extent where they imagine horror things when night appear.
