When the programme starts we first

see a sun rise to the sky. The sun has a

baby’s face in the middle. This

appeals to children as they know the

programme is appropriate for them as

they can see a baby of their possible

age group on the screen. The scenery

is extremely suitable for children as an

open field is shown with flowers, which

excites the audience as they love to

play on a field. The colours used in this

theme are bright and colourful which

is suitable for the watchers as its bright

and fun. The audio at this point plays

birds tweeting which communicates

A transition is played and introduces the image above. A ‘house’ is shown covered in grass surrounded in flowers. This appeals to children as I’ve said before they love to play outside and this house looks camouflaged which excites the audience as they feel this could be their secret ‘den’ to play in and they want to know what’s inside. In the middle of the screen is a long object communicating this object is significant as it’s easily seen and in the middle of the screen.

The narrator then says ‘Over the hills

and far away, Teletubbies come to

play’ the characters then jump out

of a hole on the roof. This is a

surprising entrance and enthuses

the children as it’s exciting. This also

main characters as they are the first

characters introduced to the

audience. As they are introduced

the characters shout numbers, this is

a useful feature as it makes the

theme tune educational for young

children who are learning to count

at school. This continues for a short

while as the other characters are

The group then combine and stand together, this is when the television title appears in a bright blue colour. The format is written in blue bubble writing surrounded by a pink layer. This is easily seen and excites the children as it’s fun to look at. In the background is an open field with flowers spread around them. In the background is an object the audience would have seen earlier which is the windmill. This object communicate it’s significance as it is set in the middle of the two screenshots shown communicating to the audience that it plays a key role in the show. The purple Teletubbie is also significant as he/she is shown as the oldest as he/she always stands in front of the others. The colour scheme does not collate with gender

stereotypes for example a boy is a yellow colour, this is to create inclusivity and including both genders.
