The authors work, Target, employs a dramatic directing method in animation that utilizes suspense as a central mechanism. This technique serves to maximize tension and enhance audience immersion by maintaining a constant state of psychological instability. Within the context of the animation, the term [Target] signifies a goal or objective to be pursued. The work conveys a poignant message: the other, who grapples with the disparity between their externally projected image and their inner self—an identity that remains unexpressed—can ultimately embark on a journey toward self-discovery and authenticity.
