Age Group Violence

It seems that there is violence in cartoons from the age group specified in the brief. Although there is violence and even death these are expressed in the simplest way possible so the child will understand that a character has died but will not think much of. Also even in fighting there is no body damage shown or anything like blood or sweat so again the child doesn’t really think much of the fighting and turns out to be a sort of play for them.

This is due to the simplicity death and violence in cartoons for that particular age group, also the sound effects are chosen specifically to make them more of a simple but unrealistic sound and characters who are fighting never scream in pain or show much injury and normally the characters when fighting have conversations while fighting, this to a child is very entertaining at that age but does not really show realistic fighting.

For this project these techniques will have to be taken into account so that the final outcome is still suited for the age group intended. The thing which really stood out is that although in some cartoons characters have weapons a lot of cartoons fight with their hands and feet but also in a very dramatic fashion to real life fighting. This is something else that needs to be considered especially since the characters for this project may sword fight. Stabbing should not be included in the animation because this would be a major sign of violence which could rise questions and a lot of unhappy parents.

Some reference cartoons and programs will be stated below to show what sort of vilonce is in cartoons and programs which are available to that particular age group.
