Credits for the film Toy Story.
Brief description:
What do you see?
Little clips and images shown in a box from the film which is Toy Story, this is all shown on a
plain black background and the only things that are shown are Toy Story images that are laid
on top of each other but done so you can’t see the images that are underneath it, it also
includes the names of the cast that are shown in white text and they are constantly moving up
each time that another one image has been shown till they’re no longer shown on the screen.
These have been shown as the genre of this film is young children and maybe family as they
will watch it with them. So they have used images with lots of colour in it and music in the
Techniques used:
Animation, Visual Effects, Colour Rendering,
Graphics, Movement
Movement is used and this is of the text going up each time another member of the cast has
been added and the images and film clips that are used at the side. Colours are just basic black
background and white text but then as the film itself includes lots of colours in each of its films
it there for has lots of colour used in the pictures that are from the film Toy Story which are
shown in a box at the side. Animation has been used for the text making it go up each time
another name is added to the list and making continuous throughout. Animation has also been
used for the pictures with in the way that they enter the screen and also the way in which they
exit.
Advanced techniques:
Blur, Sharpen, Distortion, Rotation, Opacity
Rotation is used as the images are rotated, because they are turned to the left side once they
have been made and just before another image is about to be applied on top of that existing
image. Blur has also been used as the text that is being moved up and down each time the text
goes off it blurs and fades just before it completely disappears. Distortion is used as the shape
of the image changes each time when the actual images changes itself and turns into another
image from the film.
