Task 2, P2 - Explain different uses of animation

Task: Add a page to your blog describing, how the animations are used in the following cases?

Advertising-Choose one advert of your own choice

This video above is a television advert about the fizzy drink known as Fanta a fruit flavored soft drink. The advert is trying to make you buy their product through the use of animation, bright colours and catchy theme tunes.

Creative arts-Find at least one example of an artist that uses animation as a creative medium.

Pixar
Pixar was founded in 1979 to the present day, it is at the forefront of animation and animated film technology and its films along with it's creations are box office hits worldwide, such as Monsters INC, Toy Story, Wall-e and so on.

Entertainment-Choose one computer game or film

I have chosen the new trailer for an upcoming game known as Halo 5, this game is fully animated and is based on a futuristic event of the human race at war with an alien species known as the covenant. This changed in the games Halo 4 when the main character you see in the trailer in the big suit is under threat by the forerunners. 



Education-Think about your education to date. Has animation been used in any area to develop your learning?

During my secondary school education whilst studying geography in one of the assignments we had to learn about global wildfires and explain using videos what you can do to prevent them. The tutor used this video below as a kids approach to preventing wildfires this was used because we had to show how to prevent wildfires to many different age groups. 



Simulation-Pick a simulator of your own choice; note that the simulator should be used for a work or training purpose not for entertainment).

X-Plane 10 this simulator is used in the modern day to train potential pilots and to update existing pilots on the new aircraft. This simulator is 3D and gives the user many different views such as 3rd person and first real time person view where in this view all the buttons are accessible and weather will effect how you use the simulator.
