Chicken Run Analysis
Target Audience
The target audience for Chicken Run is family viewing as it is model animation and is simply for younger viewing and it also has adult humour so everyone in the family can enjoy it.
Type of Animation
Chicken Run is a film made using characters and models out of plastercine and clay etc. so it is a model animation.
Camera Movement
Throughout Chicken run there is a wide variety of camera angles used, each specially selected to give a certain view or impression to the audience. An example of this is when at the start of the scene there is a high angle shot which emphasises the top of the fence and the difference between the outside (freedom) and inside (prison). It then pans across, tracking down to look through the gate which shows the chickens trapped inside. Also in the background you can see watch towers which again emphasis the chickens trapped inside like they are in prison.
