Comic effects triggered by humorous content in animated films are essential to entertain audiences and a key to success at the box office. This research aims to investigate the importance of narrative and the audiovisual elements in animations for the comic effects to form aframework. We first look into the humor theories from areas of philosophy, psychology and linguistics, and integrated into the discourse of animation comedy. Accordingly, the evaluation for the importance of the elements is based upon the surveys of experts' opinions from the animation industry and the academy. The experts' consensus on weights and ratings was mathematically derived using fuzzy Delphi methodology. The result indicates that reversal, exaggeration and satire are regarded as the most significant narrative elements for comic effects in an animated film. In regard to the application of audiovisual elements, characters' acting, character design and sound are perceived to be predominantly important among audiovisual elements. Accordingly, based upon the results obtained by the survey, a framework of audiences' reception of the comic effects triggered by humorous content of animated films is established in combination with narrative and audiovisual elements. Narrative elements are further linked to humor theories in literature. |
