THE WINTER BALL (final piece)

MONSTERS INC.

The intro of this film fits well into the conventions of a typical childrens film eg:

• The use of bright colours is prominant throughout within the: Tittle, characters and location
• Upbeat music
• Clear dialogue
• It is a hybrid ie a fantasy/adventure genre
• The plot is outlined, you know what will happen it is straight forward to a young audience 
• The editing pace is slow so it is not confusing to children
• There is diegetic sound effects eg owl noises
• There is irony relating to the whole idea of monsters hiding in your closet or under your bed
• It shows the idea that monsters aren't that scary
• The first shot is of toys which appeals to children

LION KING

The Lion King appeals to children immediately because of the bright colours. Also the film is an animation and all of the animals are brightly coloured too. In addition to this the film is also appealing because there is usually a sound track playing which makes the film recognisable with the songs. The film would have impact because it has a moral to the story, 'the circle of life' educating children about how life is for the animals in the wilderness. This again relates to the song 'circle of life' at the start of the film, therefore the film intorduces us (the viewer ) to the storyline and characters straight away. The film is rememberable to people because it's a musical which therefore makes the film more enjoyable for the viewer i.e. children , because you can sing along.
