    Hedgehog in the Fog

    “Hedgehog in the Fog” is a Soviet cartoon about a little hedgehog that is making his

    way through a scary wood carrying a bag of sweets for his friend’s bear cub, unknowingly

    stalked by an owl. Continuing he sees, a white horse standing in a fog and gets concerned

    about it. Thereafter the fog becomes the main part of the plot, revealing and hiding several

    characters that amaze, help, or alarm him (Norstein, 2011). Hedgehog gets attracted to a large

    tree, and he loses his sweets, only to have them returned to him by a dog. It accidentally slips

    into a stream, is saved from drowning by a fish, and finds its friend the bear who fusses as to

    his whereabouts. The film ends whereby the hedgehog in deep thought about everything that

    had happened.

    The film has dormant particular colors, allowing one to do one super creative thing of

    telling the story through color. Different colors in the film “Hedgehog in the fog” influence

    different moods and carry the audience’s attention as described in the film by the use of black

    and white colors indicating suspense (Norstein, 2011). Recently it was discovered that certain

    colors in the right context could enhance memory. In addition, high street and online shops to

    increase sales by enhancing positive moods across a wide range have used it.

    Lighting in this film is the most critical aspect because it allows setting the mood of

    the film. Lighting also has been used to add color and texture to otherwise bland

    environments and scenes. It also communicates the mood and atmosphere of the film helping

    the audience receive context clues about the scenes and plot line of a play. In the film, light is

    used when the Hedgehog is attacked by Bats frightening him to such an extent it runs to save

    his life (Norstein, 2011).

    The mysterious cartoon is full of mysticism and hidden meaning such as you should

    not run away from the things that frighten you because you are taking your fear with you. The

    fog symbolizes another world full of fantastic creatures. According to Norstein (2011), the
    3

    owl chasing the Hedgehog is a symbol of evil forces, and the dog that returned the sweets to

    the Hedgehog is a symbol of goodness Bats also symbolize evil, and a sad white horse

    personifies death. Audiences with developed imaginations see Hedgehog’s path to the

    afterlife along the river that carries him.

    The setting is the time and place of a film story. They also help to understand a

    character’s view through how they think about their surrounding environment. It also

    provides the audiences with the context of the time, place, and environment in that the film

    takes place. It can be described by weather, clothing, and culture. This film is filmed in a

    forestry or bushy area also the weather is foggy. Setting is written into the slug line of a

    scene heading.

    The soviet animation Yuri Norstein created a mesmerizing tale of friendship and fear

    that seems real and relatable to both adults and children. It also teaches us that you should go

    where you want to be. If you have, a goal goes for it no matter the consequences hindering

    you on the way. Never turn back from the direction you have come from. ’Hedgehog in the

    fog’ is an epic way through the dark forest of life.’
