The lines are usually yellow and extend with arrows to show where the players will go. Similar lines may be drawn over a live shot or photo of a machine, a building or anytime a graphic explanation is useful. Animation The Simpsons, Walt Disney films, flying network logos, a spinning globe that opens a news show are all examples of animations. Today they're all created on computers. Some animations are created in a photo-realistic style where you can't tell whether real objects were filmed with a camera or whether they were drawn by an artist.
Animations can stand alone or be superimposed over the live video shots.
Each shot has a beginning and an end. It simply butts the end of one shot with the beginning of the next. The order in which the shots are cut together and their length is one of the essential arts of filmmaking - editing. The straight cut is used in a wide range of films from the simplest informational film to the most complex feature film. Straight cuts can turn a boring home movie into a compelling work of art.
