2. Style - Stop-Motion
3. Narrative  or abstract - The animation is narrative one
4.What happens - Throughout the whole animation there is a lot of random things going on. At the start we see a pink ball made of plasticine rolling around which we can assume is the main character as it is on its own, making sure that the point of interest is on it. As the animation goes on we constantly see strange models made from plasticine appear and change shapes, sometimes even change position. We hear some funky late 20th century jazz music being played.
5. Why was it interesting - The thing that was interesting about this animation was just how strange it was and different from any other typical stop-motion animation I've watched before. Due to it being this unique it kept me engaged in it and made me continue watching it and made me eggar to find out what will happen at the end
6. What ideas could I take from this -The ideas this animation gave me is, to try and make my animation different, like really different, make it stick out from others and make sure there is nothing similar to it.

1. Title - Drums West
2. Style - 2d animation
3. Narrative or Abstract - This animation is an abstract one.
4. What happens - Throughout the whole of the animation we hear classical music playing with random rectangular shapes constantly appearing, forming what seems to look like a firework explosion. Each movement of the shapes is also in sync with the music which creates a lot nicer and cleaner look to the animation.
5. Why was it interesting - The thing that was interesting about this animation is the use of music and shapes in sync to create a more clean and interesting look to the animation
6. What ideas could I take from this - The ideas I could take from this one, is possibly to also use some sort of shapes and music in my animation and when animating it, make sure it is in sync with each other.


1. The origins of Anime
2. Style - Anime
3. Narrative or abstract - this animation is a narrative one.
4.What happens - In this animation, we are introduced with different animals that have human abilities, like the ability to pick things up with their hands and place it somewhere else. We also see them playing what appears to be baseball with a full crowd supporting them as well, a lot of mistakes happen during the game and we witness them.
5. Why was it interesting -  The thing that was interesting about this animation is how simple it was yet very entertaining and fun to watch.
6. What ideas could I take from this- The idea I could get from this, is the black and white theme that makes the animation really simple and good looking and something I could try and use in mine.

2. Style - 3D Animation
3. Narrative or Abstract - This animation is a narrative one.
4. What happens - A new character appears at what seems to be her new job and tries to make new friends by talking to other peers but doesn't seem to succeed and we get a feeling like she is an odd one out in the company.
4. Why was it interesting - The reason I found this one a lot more interesting than the other ones I have watched is because this is the only one where there is some sort of humour and tone where we as a viewer can have a laugh.
5. What ideas could I take from this - The ideas I could possibly take from this is to make some sort of 3D animation and add some humour to it, to make it stand out and make the viewers laugh.
