Essay – Question

It is Week 4 in our Animation Discourse Class. We’ve been assigned to write a 2000 word essay OR a 1000 word report based on our own research. I’ve decided to explore the visuals in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and how they effectively convey its themes and reflect the narrative.

Visuals Include:

• Storyboarding, framing
• colour
• light and dark
• perspectives

As I’m writing an essay I’ve come up with a few potential questions to write about.

• Do the visuals in Puss in Boots accurately convey its themes?
• Does the storyboarding in PIB:TLW support the narrative
• how the narrative is portrayed through its visuals
• character arc

ESSAY STRUCTURE - introduction, themes content selections, conclusion, references, appendices.
