E4 is primarily targeted to 16-34 year olds and most of the shows that are shown are US sitcoms.

With social groups, E4 is targeted at at C2DE, which is more middle class and working class.
This ESting fits into the comedy genre as it shows the monster playing in London looking particularly bored and then ends up sitting on the houses of parliament using them as a sofa to watch TV on. The audience would be children and young people because of the friendly nature and the bright colours.

City Wanderer:
Woolly Package:
This ESting fits into the comedy genre perfectly because of the ending. Because of the ending, the audience would be a more mature audience, being 16 +. The ending is very comedic, however is more of a mature humor so would not be suited fro a younger audience.
Sheep Sucking:
As the other to are, the genre for this would be comedy. Because E4 mostly shows TV shows that are comedic, most of their EStings would be of the comedy genre. The ESting consist of sheep getting sucked up by a big hoover that appears from the ground and then spits them back out in the sign of the E4 logo. The audience for this would be 10+ as there is a child friendly vibe with the sheep and the bright colours and the background.
Paragraph 3:
Zoetrope:
Thaumatrope:
Praxinoscope:
We created an animation with a Lego frog however i can't find it on any of the computers so can't embed the video onto my blog.
Our intention when creating out Human figure stop-motion was to create something that was comedic, yet had elements of action with the chase and the gun. We incorporated the comedic effect with the ending and the "skrrt skrrt" sound affect. Overall our intention was to make a good human figure stop-motion that was under 10 seconds that we all found enjoyable.
Paragraph 4:
For my ESting i will create a Lego and claymation piece with a Lego man rolling a bowling ball down a bowling alley and then have the ball bounce back of the pins and turning into the E4 logo. I've come to this decision because I really like the idea of making the Lego come to life and making the piece like a real life thing. I also want to make it comedic,which is why i want the ball to bounce of the pins because it's something that's out of the ordinary and something that wouldn't happen n real life. Although i want to make it like a real life situation, I want it to also be quite comedic and wacky.
