P.1 Rotoscoping

Rotoscoping is a technique that allows you to create animation that mimics live action video. For example, a live actor may be filmed doing a series of actions, and the animator would have the digital character mimic the actions of the human actor for a realistic animated scene.  The rotoscoping technique was invented by Max Fleischer, who used it in his series "Out of the Inkwell" in 1915.

You can also do this in After effect using the tool called 'rotobrush' which pretty musch separated images form the background so it allows you to ove them around.

i like the little mermaid and i personally think that the rotoscoping has been used well. For example when the lets the petals fall you see it going all the way down and off the screen instead of just stopping half way. And the way her hair moves really realistic as you need to remember that she's under water so her hair cant just fall of her shoulder when she moves. And also the bubble, as they appear as they move.
Also the way her fringe gets out of the way when she is swimming forward.

P.1 Matte and Matte Painting

Matte painting is where the artist draws a represented image of a location or set which t can also work when combined with the real footage. 
Matte painting is similar to green screen. Matte painting is used to set an environment to the film that is either too expensive to shoot or its non existen in real life.
At the beginning, artists used to paint or use pastels on large sheet of glass to do this.

Matte painting has been used in a lot of famous films such as King Kong, Star Wars and Dracula.
Some of the most  important painters and technicians are Michael Pangrazie, Walter Perey Day and Norman Down.

Matte painting used in King Kong 1933.

It was used in the location of the Skull Island because it was impossible to find a location like that. It was really successful in my opinion as it created the environment that it is supposed to make and it also links to the conventions of this genre.
It is convincing as they have put so much detail into it that you just asume that that place actually exist.

Raiders Of The Lost Arc, 1981 was when one of the most famous matte paintings was used in film. It was used in the scene where this man pushes this cargo down the central aisle.
This was a combination of the matte painting and the real footage which in my opinion was made really well as i thought the whole setting was real.

This picture could have been improved by choosing another location. It was shot through a window as we also chose where we were gonna shot it. Also im right in the middle which breaks the rule of thirds, so maybe have me on the right as the other main character is going to come from the left side.

In this picture you can see on the background that is not needed at all such as a coat on the floor and oms boxes on top of the lockers, Next time we could change the angle of the camer so you can olnly see the main guy and the lockers as its the only things we really needed in the shot.

You can see the door and the posters on the background which is not needed. also we could have cropped the imaged on the sides as theres white background on the right that its pointless as its not explaining whats happening on the scene.

There is a lot of background in this picture that its useless and also a lot of other stuff in the picture which would distract the audience when looking at the picture. Also the table doesn't need to be in the way, and you dont know if the character is opening or closing the door. He is kind of in the middle but more to the right which is kind of good as there is space to move for the character.

Again there is too much background in this picture, such as the chair is in the way and theres posters everywhere. Also this picture is breaking the rule of thirds as he is right in the middle. It would be a good idea to get the right chair out of the way and crop the image in the left side so hes got some space on the right to give space to what he is looking at.

There is a lot of space and empty tables and chairs that its not needed in that shot. Also you can see the yellow folder which wasn't there before which would confuse the audience.
The rule of thirds has been used okay in my opinion and also the over the shoulder shot along with the camera angle.
