摘要

觀眾在觀看動畫的過程中，會因故事的結構以及人物角色而產生不同的情緒。本研究經文獻整合，以衝突、節奏、驚喜和懸念，探討故事結構中影響觀眾情緒之因素。同時，本研究也運用亞裡斯多德（Aristotle）的三幕式結構，探討其故事結構如何影響觀眾情緒。

本研究以焦點訪談法，訪問 24 位喜歡收看動畫的大學生。分析結果分為 4 部分，第一，研究發現會吸引觀眾的故事結構必須與他們想像不同，同時故事結構不能太平淡。第二，故事情節不能過於重複以及過於詳細交待不需要的情節，容易使觀眾對動畫故事失去興趣。第三，故事結構必須多元化以及讓觀眾意想不到。第四，觀眾認為故事結構必須能讓他們有所期待，才能使觀眾期盼故事結局。研究結果可提供動畫師或編劇在撰寫動畫故事時作為參考依據。
