Representation of Characters

Animated Character - Marlin from Finding Nemo

Mise-en-scene = The lighting is very bright when he is on screen to reflect his bright personality and to reflect that hes friendly and loving. The colours also do this for the same reasons.

The setting is the ocean as hes a fish and its quite a rich place of the ocean so this reflects their love for a good life style for his family.

The sound when marlin is on is both non-diagetic and diagetic sound. The non-diagetic sound used is calm music quietly in the background to reflect his good mood. And then diagetic sound is used to make it as real-life as possible and so that you hear his fatherly voice.

The editing is really simple to make him stand out and be the focus point of the film. Also because its a childrens film so you wouldn't expect the editing to be to complicated as it would have confused the target audience.

There is basic usage of special effects within. For example marlin is created through CGI. This appeals to the target audience as they can use their imagination more with cartoon characters.

So overall Marlin is represented as a friendly and fatherly figure throughout the film.
