Ending Credits for the film Breaking Dawn Part 2
Brief description:
What do you see?
First of all you see the 2 main characters Bella and Edward Cullen – Kristen Stewart and Robert
Pattinson together in a field full of flowers then everything fades to black and we see pages
being turned over in a book that is the book to the film. It shows the last page of the book
where it focuses on the last line in the book, “And then we continued blissfully into this small
but perfect piece of forever” then a black shadow comes across over all the words turning
them black except or the last word, forever that shines white. Then it shows clips of all the
characters showing them all in action as they say who played them.
Techniques used:
Animation, Visual Effects, Colour Rendering,
Graphics, Movement
Animation is used when the clips are shown they move around a lot and co me onto the screen
in different was each time. It is shown in black and white throughout; even when the clips are
shown as they have added a black and white effect added to them. Movement is used a lot in
this as they show clips from the film to show the actors names so there is movement going on
in those clips and then the text comes on, fades goes off and comes back on in time for the
next clip in a completely different place.
Advanced techniques:
Blur, Sharpen, Distortion, Rotation, Opacity
They have used the ‘blur’ technique at the start of the credits when the text in the book is
shown as it all goes blurred and bits disappear so that we are only focusing on the word that
they want us to focus on, “forever” The text used for the cast comes on each time a new clip is
on screen and then fades so it is gone in time for the next clip and the next bi of text appears.
Distortion is used for when the next film clip is shown as there is no fading to black that clip
distorts into the next clip.
Technical comments:
Video Format, Screen Ratio, Resolution,
Frame rate, Compression
The resolution that this has been shown in is just standard TV definition. And the resolution for
this is 4:3; this means that for every 4 units wide it is also 3 units high. There are 24 frames per
seconds as it is a standard film, there for there is less strobbing and jerkiness, making it overall
appears better to the viewers and not have any gaps or come across as being shown shakily.
