After watching Lizzie McGuire when I was a child I suddenly realised that this would be a good text to look at because of its use of moving image with animation. The Disney Channel television series is about a teenage girl, following the struggles in her family life and her school life. An animated character is used to depict her internal thoughts and ideas as they occur. The animated character also then acts as a narrator for the show helping create understanding of different choices Lizzie makes, it is also used to provide background knowledge to her reasoning too.
It is useful to look at texts such as this because my animation will be a combination of photography and animation. I thought it would be worthwhile for me to research into other people who have used this idea too. In Lizzie McGuire the animated character speaks directly to the audience which does work really well but I have decided I would like my character to suffer in silence with us as the audience acting as a fly on the wall. I do like that aesthetically the use of animation with real life image looks good as I had been worried that maybe the combination will clash and not work.
