10 things learned from Pixar in a box

 10 things learned from Pixar in a box 

1. I learned how in the art of storytelling the story comes first and how Pixar emphasizes how every story starts with a strong emotional core and how characters face different challenges. 

   
   

2. I also learned how in storytelling many Pixar films are based on personal experiences of the creators in some way. 

   
   

3. Lighting is by far one of the most important roles in the film because it helps guide the audience's focus and create the mood in many scenes. For example soft lighting can help set the mood for a romantic or gentle scene. 

   
   

4. Lighting can help communicate different things like key lighting will help highlight the importance of a character. 

   
   

5. Color helps set the scene as well, warm colors like orange and red evoke energy or excitement. 

   
   

6. Pixar uses color palettes to support storytelling. By adjusting hue, saturation, and brightness to influence how the viewer feels throughout the movie.

   
   

7. Mostly all Pixar films are animated but it was cool how the cameras used in the software do a really good job on how they mimic real world cameras used in film. 

   
   

8. I learned how Pixar uses a lot of film ideas we use in some of our favorite real life movies and use it in animated films like zooming, panning and depth of field and different angles to show hierarchy. 

   
   

9. When it comes to patterns Pixar uses repeating shapes, colors and textures to make their film seem more realistic. 

10. Patterns help lead the viewer's eye to important elements on screen without having to force the process.
