This research is based on two common ways of expressing emotion of character in animation and movie; first is using camera as the spectator’s point of view to observe character’s behavior and reveal it’s emotional state. The second is using camera as the first person’s point of view, to mimic the vision of the character to express it’s emotional state. We had analyzed the theory of performing Art and Method, Power Center and L.M.A., and cross-compares the findings with award winning animations. We find out five main gestures of emotions, such as; ordinary, happiness, outrage, sadness, horror and love. Then designed the questionnaire accords to the sample movie for audience. From the results of the questionnaire, we find that the Love and Sadness those two emotions are more expressive when using the observer point of view and character’s body language. Happiness and Horror those two emotions are more expressive when using spectator’s point of view and camera movement. The emotion of Outrage the finding on both tests is similar.
