First Research
Project Development
After I watched few times of the animation ‘the Street of Crocodiles’, I sorted out my understanding of the timeline of this animation.
As far as I can see, I organised this animation to 6 different parts by the character development and scenes switching.
Characters:
The adult: (the kid) the main character who is deeply attracted by the world outside home.
The baby doll / dolls: The former protagonist, the protagonist before he grew up.
The Robert: The protagonist’s father, a person who lives in the old times, old-fashioned and immersed in his own world.
Watching Notes / Analysis:
The 1st scene,
Start from a adult who saw pairs of hanging arms above the roof, and a kid is running above the transparent glass roof.
