Conventions
>Character Types
Characters show an extreme sense of friendship and loyalty.
>Story Type
Fits the classic five stage structure: exposition, development,complication, climax and resolution.
>Sound
Non-diegetic and diegetic sounds enhance comedic sequences in fast paced cut transitions.
>Editing
Montage editing with quick invisible cuts linked theme of characters and vague plot.
>Camera Work
Lots of tracking, tilting and panning shots following action and aiding comedic sequences.
>Location and Sets
Houses and sets look very realistic, although things like faces and bodies conform to the plump shapes that are used the plump animated plasticine characters. Located in idillic village, shown by houses and countryside. Set in an inventors house, shown by use of contraptions e.g. giant hammer/ cogs and pipes.
>Themes
Happy smiley, active trailer, use of short comedic sequences set the common children's conventional use of humour.
>Props
The set has many pops used for comedic and plot use, e.g. giant hammer/ cogs and pipes, there is also use of cars and other inventions, the giant puppet lady-rabbit which also aids this.
