Cortometraje 2D sobre las consecuencias del excesivo uso del celular en niños de 5 a 9 años.

Abstract

In today’s technological era, virtual connections have surpassed face-to-face interactions, diminishing awareness of the dangers associated with the misuse of technology, particularly among those who least understand its risks, such as children. To address this issue, 2D digital animation was implemented as a tool to visualize the consequences of unsupervised cellphone use on children’s health and social environment. The primary objective of this thesis is to inform and raise awareness among children about the negative effects of excessive cellphone use, both in terms of screen time and content consumption. This issue is addressed through a 2D short film that highlights consequences such as insomnia, poor academic performance, and lack of energy, illustrating how these factors impact a child’s social life. Additionally, the study proposes an alternative solution that children can adopt instead of relying on cellphones.
