The best LoL cinematic in my opinion, Annie's backstory is a perfect lesson in TENSION. "Annie is just an evil girl, and that's it," said director RiotPastaBomb. She's just a simplistic trope, how you can you write a compelling story about a character like this? But the "evil child" trope denotes a tension: childhood innocence vs a monster that shouldn't exist. Children aren't old enough or capable enough to be evil, so we have a hard time believing this archetype can exist. Our mind is constantly trying to convince us that it's just a normal child, and that's EVERY SCENE in this short. Every story element tries to convince us this is just a normal little girl before throwing us into the horror of the monstrosity we can't believe is real. Mr Tibbers is designed to be just odd enough that we're suspicious. The use of dramatic irony with Annie's parents draw us into the narrative as participants trying to convince the characters and ourselves that there's something very very wrong with this girl.
