Toy Story 2 Part 2

Improved Essays
In Toy Story 2 directed by John Lasseter, Lasseter uses different ways of communicating sound and animated images to achieve the coherent story that he developed in this movie. Since the movie is animated it relies heavily on dialogue of the characters to develop a story that can easily be followed.And example of this is that the toys only come to live when no humans around to see them interact. And the plot revolves around the way these toys interact with each other. For one, through dialogue the audience is able to dissect the underlying issue of Andy growing up, especially through Woody. As the film continues we see how Andy growing up effects the toys and how this one issue drives the plot. One instance, is when Woody finds out who he really is and is infatuated with this revelation. Because of this he is pressured into …show more content…
An example of this is in the scene where Jessie is explaining her past to Woody and how she was forgotten by her previous owner. In the background the audience hears the somber song, that intensifies her feelings towards being abandoned. And by showing this scene, the audience gets a clear look into Jessie’s previous life giving them context for her reasons of being afraid of going back into storage and darkness. This represents her distrustfulness and sadness that revolves around being abandoned. Even though, Woody could not hear the music, the main point of this scene is to display the real sadness that Jessie has gone through in her life as a toy and in a way convince Woody to say with her and keep her away from her fears. It also influences the audience that Woody should indeed chose to stay with Jessie. Especially since this scene is a turning point for the film. As the film continues music becomes a large part of developing the audience feelings toward the overall topic of growing and learning to treasure the time one does have with someone

    This is effective because it causes the readers to wonder what would be their feelings if they are in those circumstances. One example of this is the photograph “Girl with Dunce Cap, New York City, 1972” (85), a photo of a girl sits with a dunce cap over her head, in a classroom. A girl who is punished by her teacher because she did not do her homework might be seem to be normal for some people, but her feeling might be full of shame and loneliness. Another example is the photograph “Young Boy and Hooded Figure, New York City, 1971” (84), a photo of a boy who is covered by a hooded figure behind him.

    The girl might learn that it is expected to use artificial products to be considered pretty 6. I believe that these toys for boys and girls are important to children’s socialization because they are teaching them what to except society wants in the future. When children cannot communicate verbally, toys become a great tool for planting seeds of how society wants them to function as a part of society. These toys enforce what societies views of how they should be brought up. For example, when a young boy gets hurt, society says not to cry and walk it off.…

    The film director, Tim Burton, uses several different techniques throughout his films to show his unique sense of style and ideas to compliment his interesting and crazy personality. The stylistic techniques that Burton uses are the music, shots, and lighting to achieve the effects of mood, tone, and a sense of fantasy. First of all, Burton’s use of music, mainly diegetic, in his films help the audience to be engaged and understand the emotions within the characters. For example, in his film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there were several songs sung by the Oompa-loompas during the scenes where one of the children were in trouble for misbehaving and disobeying the rules that Willy Wonka has set for his factory. As the Oompa-loompas sing, the mood changes to being mischievous and funny as they all make fun of the rude children.…

    Jaws Sound Analysis

    • 1338 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Jaws has been memorable since its release in 1975, but most of its success is due to the magic of editing, which helped hide mechanical defects of production while heightening suspense, and its iconic music, both of which cemented Jaws’ position as a blockbuster. Though the concept of the titular creature becomes obvious shortly after the film beings, the crazily large man eating shark remains mostly unseen throughout the film. Unfortunately, the technology was not available to construct a large realistic shark, so rather than come off looking absurdly unrealistic, the choice was made to leave the image of the shark up to the editors, who were left with horrible raw footage of a floating barge, and transformed it into something the viewers were genuinely afraid of.…

    Für Elise Analysis

    The piece of music that I’ve selected to write about is a solo piano composition named Für Elise that was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Für Elise literally translates to “For Elise”, a title that has raised many questions and few answers. The main reason that I’ve chosen this piece of music to write about is because it is a piece that is very well known, even to people who are not involved in music, and “is a common catalyst and inspiration that causes many people to become interested in the piano.” Für Elise is a revolutionary piece of music, and to support this claim we must first examine the fundamental elements in the piece as well as the emotion and visualization that makes this piece so impacting.…
