Set up
In this Short Film,the main protagonist, which is a bulbous pig called Ormie is introduced by walking across the screen. As he walks by the fridge, he starts to smell the jar of cookies on top of it. The cookies are the main target so there is a close up of it, which implies that his mission is to eat them. This implies to the audience that the story is based on that, making it the outline of the story.
Conflict
The conflict of the Short Film involves the different ways he attempts to get the cookies from the top of the fridge. One example is when he uses the boxes to climb to the top however, because he is pulp, he crushes the boxes and doesn’t receive the cookies. Another one is when uses a chainsaw to drill a hole in the ground but then fails because he doesn’t catch the cookies in time and falls through the hole. These examples are just a few of the many attempts, each attempt is funnier than the other (comedic), which makes it enjoyable to watch
Resolution
Ormie the pig gets fed up and leans on the fridge and the cookies falls from the sky, he smiles but as he eats it the jar falls on his head and is unable to eat it. So he gives up, which is the resolution of the Short Film (Animation), the pig giving up. This could either be satisfying or unsatisfying to the audience.
