Completed2023

Abstract

Over the years, many teenagers have freedom to do whatever they want, especially when using their devices. Most of the youth these days are focused on the internet, because the internet can do anything for them, browsing for assignments, chatting with friends, and playing games. They may be teens but most of them are not mature enough to handle any situation or danger that they might encounter. This study aims to develop three animated shorts about potential cybersecurity attacks for young teenagers as its target audience. The animation was developed by making the 2D characters in Clip Studio Paint Pro and the 3D background is made in Blender and are then merged using Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. After creating the animation, it was then deployed to its intended audience to be evaluated. The respondents resulted to them strongly agreeing to the quality of the animation in terms of the content, visual design, audio, text, and the animation itself.
