  1. The Tell-Tale Heart:Images Before the animation story begins, we are given information about the story to place us in the position of the narrator.

  2. If you look carefully at this image, you will see the moth and the silhouette of a head and a hand.

  3. The house changes as the narrator tells us the story. The elongated windows and the stairs, in contrast to the old man, foreshadow what is going to happen.

  4. You also see many images that transform. For example, in this image the old man’s eye changes into a web.

  5. To convey the man’s madness, the animator uses the image of the moon. We first see it whole, then “something” seems to corrode it.

  6. In this image the moon is whole, but the lines of the window cut through it.

  7. Initially as we look inside of the house, we see the mirror and the jar that will later appear broken.

  8. We also see many elongated shapes. The elongated shadow seems to be the narrator. Similar visual shapes will be repeated throughout the film.

  9. Notice how the animator used this God’s eye view to show us, not only where the old man was buried, but again a similar shape like that of the elongated body in the previous slide.

  10. The wallpaper shapes will also transform.

  11. Notice how the house has transformed. Wallpaper shapes

  12. The animator uses devices, such as the ticking clock and its pendulum to convey the narrator’s nervousness.

  13. Poe wrote a psychological tale way before Freud created the concept of psychoanalysis. The animator, through the Rorschach-like images of the liquid on the floor, explores the psychological aspect of the story.

  14. The headboard looks like a headstone.

  15. Again, the hand

  16. Roofless house to convey madness

  17. The detectives are seen mostly as silhouettes. In this frame, the animator used a canted angle to illustrate how the narrator was feeling.

  18. As the narrator’s feelings of guilt make him confess, the images of the detectives lose their heads.

  19. At the end, we see once again the hand. We also know that the narrator has been imprisoned.Click to review the animation filmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdWP9KRV46Y
