Toy Story - Opening Credits - Timeline

we decided that to further investigate the editing that would be needed for our film, specifically the credits that we would need to use, that we should find a film opening and create a timeline of the credits and when they appear, so that we would have an idea of what to do when it came to writing our own credits - we decided to use Toy Story as it was a prime example of opening credits and it is a film that most people know due to it being a Disney classic.

0:00 – 0:13 – Walt Disney Pictures – name of production company
0:25 – 0:29 – Walt Disney Pictures Presents
0:34 – 0:38 – Toy Story – Name of the film
0:46 – 0:50 – A Pixar Production – Company
0:54 – 0:58 – Executive Producers, Edwin Catmull, Steve Jobs – Name of executive producers.
2:01 – 2:05 – Supervisor technical director, William Reeves – Technical director.
2:12 – 2:17 – music by Randy Newman - music

2:19 – 2:24 – songs written and performed by Randy Newman – music and songs

We believe that this is going to help us improve the credits upon our opening scene.

Draft 6


This is our sixth draft, this is drastically different from our other drafts as we have changed several things mainly the lenghting and the removal of unneeded clips and voiceovers.

Edit Decision List 2

This is our second edit decision list, for the second set of filming in which we did. This video shows the examples and why we ultimately decided not to use them.

Audience Video Teacher Feedback (So far...)

After creating five drafts of our film we decided to receive feedback from our teacher so they could tell us how they thought we could improve. After watching it they believed that we gave to much of the narrative away within the opening scene and that some of the clips were two long as the finished clip should as a maximum be only just over 2 minutes. We are going to edit these changes to make our video more effective.

Draft 5

This is our fifth draft, we are now going to receive feedback from our teacher to see if we can make any changes.
