Graphics

Animation and graphics are used widely within film, specifically at the beginning and end credits of a production.

VooDooDog is a London based animation and graphics company that have recently created high profile title sequences including “Smokin’ Aces” and “Nanny MyPhee”. They have also worked on music videos, short films and also Commercial Idents.

Nanny McPhee – “The movie Nanny McPhee ends with a two minute Animated Sequence which re caps scenes from the Movie using a Cut Out style animation. The Sequence is a special surprise at the end of the Movie to leave the audience with a smile on their face.”

Within our own production, we decided early on that graphics would feature in our teaser trailer. After researching existing trailers, and taking note specifically on the types of graphics used in existing productions, we decided that we would use a simple font on a plain background, with the words being in a contrasting colour to make the information presented stand out to the audience.

We will use graphics when displaying the missing statistics at the start of our trailer. This will help to introduce the genre and storyline of our film. We will also use graphics towards the end of our trailer to display the conventional "Coming Soon" along with other website and institutional information.
