Hooking Your Audience: One Step at a Time

Arm yourself with knowledge
  • The animations that are the most relatable are the ones that hook your audience the best. Make sure you know who that audience is inside and out (the best you can at least. No estimate is perfect).
  • Nothing quite like Pathos to entice a viewer. Make sure you're sending the right emotional messages in the right ways. Music, voice overs, sound effects, etc. Emotion is a great way to retain viewers.
  • Keep it fresh. Don't give them something stale and boring.
Thoughts and opinions
  • All very useful pointers. I will try to keep these in mind.
  •  Emotional appeal is very powerful. Use it whenever possible
Question
  • How is "curiosity and suspense"  different from "appealing to emotions?" Why are they even in separate categories?
