Toy story opening scene analysis

• This is the opening scene to Toy Story. The first thing you see is the institution of the film (Walt Disney) automatically the audience knows what type of film it will be (children's film). This is something that I will consider doing in my opening film, as presents to the audience what kind of film and whether its trust worthy.
• The protagonists of the film are then introduced, already the film has got the audience asking questions, e.g "who's that character","why is this happening." This is a key element of openings to films, as they engage the audience.  Therefore i will use that technique for my opening film.
•  The production and executive producers titles come after the introduction of all the characters. This finishes of the inter titles, and promotes the creators of the film; this technique is used amungst many films.
• The titles are overlapping the image sequence of Woody and the boy playing together, they have done this because the target audience is not interested in the making of the film; more what is actually going on. This is something to consider when deciding where to place the titles. However it is a convention of an opening film.
•  The colours are all bright and mostly primary colours which appeal to the children watching. Colours are extremely important, as they help determine what kind of atmosphere is being portrayed. For example the bright colours give off a happy emotions, which is uplifting to the audience. Furthermore the colours also help foreshadow what the genre of the film is and who it is aimed at. The Toy Story colours, appeal to the children of the audience and tells the audience the narrative will be friendly and will not be scary in anyway. This is a key element, that i need to consider when editing and filming the opening scene. As i could place effects of the footage to give a certain atmosphere .
• The music is bubbly and happy, which sets the atmosphere as uplifting. The title of the main song is "you've got a friend in me", this gives a subtle hint of what the narrative of the story will be. Furthermore the music helps complement the footage, it gives the footage more depth. This is because it also helps determine the emotions behind the narrative, the music makes the audience happy and it is uplifting. Furthermore the music for my opening film should also give an automatic emotion off to the audience. 
•  Most of the camera angles are from a low point of view, making it seem like we're seeing what the little boy is seeing. Point of view shot is effective as it allows the audience to feel more involved in the narrative. e.g feel like there playing with the toys too. Additionally the cuts are fairly slow, as its a children film it shows its a soft and gently narrative. Camera angles and editing is extremely important because it allows us to have some control over how the audience perceive certain scenes.
