Movies have been around for years and years, and have brought enjoyment to many people. As years went on, movies became more elaborate. The technology of the world advanced, which gave creators of movies more yet to use. Three types of these movies making techniques are animation, computer generated, and real-life. First, I will talk about Animation. Animation, in the dictionary, is defined as “the making of animated cartoons.” It takes a lot of work to create an animated film. The director must first select a group of artists to do all the drawing. Then the artists undergo the painstaking task of drawing out each and every frame. They must draw a picture of a character over and over, with minor movements to create the animation. After they draw out the characters, the backgrounds are drawn up for each scene. Once the drawing is completed, the pictures are filmed together with a special photo snap method. This is done by taking a picture of each picture, thereby looping them together to create the animation. While this process goes on, the director finds actors to do the voice-overs. Once they are selected and given a script, they go into a sound booth with their script, and record the voices for the characters. It is the job of the technicians to make sure the voices line up with the drawings. I tried to draw out an animation scene once, a simple character walking down the street. I was only able to do a second or two of animation, and it was two steps.
