For Term 1, for the subject Design for Animation, Narrative Structures & Film Language, I have written a report titled The Aestheticization of Violence in Animation: Moral Ambiguity and Narrative Consequences.
This report examines how violence is depicted in animated films and series, focusing on the aesthetic choices behind its portrayal and the moral ambiguity it creates. It explores the implications of stylized violence on the narrative structure and character development, specifically whether protagonists are forced to confront the consequences of their violent actions and if this leads to character growth. The report also investigates how antagonists may appear more charismatic due to the design and stylisation of their violent actions. Please find the critical report presentation attached below.
