Evaluation Task.

You can compare the opening of our children's film to the opening of Fireman Sam. The similarities between the two is that within the first minute of the opening you see the main character in the job that the film is about, and also see some of the difficulties that he has to face in his everyday life in the service. Another similarity is that both are made from plasticine and the images are captured by programmes like i stop motion and then put together and edited to make the sequence a lot more smooth. Also both use interesting colours and music to get the attention of the young audience.

These two screen grabs show the characters in their service vehicles, this shows that their both doing their job although Fireman Sam has a bigger sense of emergency, because Policeman Dan is having a coke and donut. The difference is that the camera for Fireman Sam tracks Sam and does and close up of him in his vehicle, Whereas in Policeman Dan the camera just stays in one place but zooms in when he eats and drinks.
