Ben Haley-Homework notes:

Charlie and Lola
Sound- beginning is a constant soundtrack, allowing for immediate knowledge of the programme which is being shown.

Narrative- An animated story following the day of an older brother (Charlie) and a younger sister (Lola). The story has a moral as to try and teach children about right and wrong.

Camera-The camera work is all the same through out the story, it involves many different long shots as to allow everyone to be in frame. This is done to represent how everybody is equal and no-one should be treated differently.

Editing-The editing is a quick cut from one shot to another. This is done to express how everyone should be given equal time to speak and act on their opinion.

Genre- Animation, Drama

Mise-en-scene- girls wear pink and boys wear blue, very stereotypical to show how people should do the right thing when a situation occurs.
