The following clip is from The Amazing World of Gumball, and features Gumball and Darwin being scared by a clown. The animation uses squash and stretch, for example they are squashed already whilst looking out the window and then they stretch up when they are scared. The scared look they have there face could be classed as anticipation as it helps communicate actions to the audience. The camera has two angles in this scene, but one of them feels out of place. The first angle is a wide showing the characters in the window. The second is the same shot, but closer. The camera changes to draw the attention into the scene, and then all of a sudden a clown appears inside the room with them. The shot change feels out of place, as it should have changed as the clown appears. This simple shot change draws more attention into the scene, and adds to the overall feel. The timing of everything also feels slightly out of place, but this show plays around with the physics of animation all the time. For example, they use 2-D animation, 3-D animation, real life figures and when appropriate other styles of animating. The art style is always colourful and full of life, which makes it engaging and fun for the audience. In the photo above, you can see how all the characters are different styles of animation but it works once its all together. The facial expression changing could be classed as a secondary action, but so could them raising there arms when they get scared. You could also say the characters are appealing to look at, as the colours of them are bright and cheerful.
