Story Idea

I decided to explore the theme of modern superstition within the nursery rhyme Ring-O-Rosies. My animation is based around a black cat walking down a city street, when bad things start to happen in his presence. People are deterred  so the cat feels isolated. The animation finishes with the cat feeling unloved and sad. Rain then begins to fall and it turns out the cat is actually white in colour. This relates to the nursery rhyme through the belief of ridiculous superstitions  "Ring-o-Rosies a pocket full of posies, explains a flower that was thought to keep away disease. "Atishoo! Atishoo WE all fall down" due to a large outbreak people became superstitious of any sign of any illness. A black cat is a modern superstition, thought to bring about bad luck.
