The document discusses an animation project aimed at younger audiences that uses humor and relatable elements. It describes receiving feedback from a survey of 16-20 year olds on their representation in animations. Based on the feedback, the project team changed the ending of the animation from a predictable happy ending to an ambiguous cliffhanger ending.
5. The results 16-20 year olds were the most responsive. This could be because they have more of an online presence and are more likely to answer online surveys than any other age group.
6. We took this into account when we decided to change the ending from a happy all’s well one to a cliff hanger. The ending is shrouded in mystery so the audience doesn’t know what happens but can suspect. We changed it so that it wouldn’t become a typical predictable film where everything works out perfectly. Where’s the entertainment in that?

Combination of ancillary texts and main product: poster The poster is effective with the film because it is eye-catching and colourful as a kids film poster should be Our focal image is that of the actor surrounded by brightly coloured aliens. This automatically draws the eye and intrigues the viewer The poster will attract the target audience as this kind of wild imaginings is their area of expertise, especially as the actor on the poster is an adult and not a child Our title is big and bold, unmissable It easily suggests that our film will be some kind of spoof/comedy simply from the title ‘mithon impothible’ It follows the conventions of a real poster, as we also have a tagline, logo, production company info, etc
