Part1 Animation script
Toy — The content of the animated short film is about a little boy at home alone at the weekend, wantonly pulling toys. The toy twisted in his hand. When the father came home to see the child playing, he pulled him to the desk full of homework. This narrative script wants to express that children’s growth is now over controlled by adults, just like their toys, and there is no room for negotiation. Most of the time, children’s violence actually comes from their parents’ actions. The behavior of toys is a kind of resistance, but also a kind of vent.

Part5 Conclusion
This week can be said to be the most painful for me, because the split lens is not what I am good at. At the same time, I think I didn’t pay attention to the composition of the picture or the angle of the lens before. This time, I paid special attention to this point when drawing the split lens. Although the story is not complicated, I used some wide-angle, elevation, depression, and metaphorical lens. I think this is a great progress. When editing, my grasp of the length of the picture and the rhythm of the story, especially the overall grasp of the music, let me have more experience and harvest in the field of pre-production animation.
