“I thought you put it there”

“Kindness?”

“Kiiinnnddddnesss!?? You stole it! He stole

it!”

Story

From the dialogue we can already identify

that one character has taken something that

belongs to the other. This is made even

more clear by the choice of colour and

scenery.

Clever Colour

By making the ice cream blue, it is therefore

easy for the audience to identify who the ice

cream belongs to.

Which allows for a simple set, which doesn't

steal focus from the animation.

Staging

Only five different shots were used.

Shot 1

confrontation and

anger.

slightly hidden.

AngerContrasting curves.

Disbelief

characters emotions such as,
