Editing:
Primary means of building a chain of shots and scenes into a complete film. Each edit ends one shot and begins another. In live-action film this usually takes place after the film has been completed. In an orthodox, narrative animation editors usually work closely with the director and the story supervisor from the point where the storyboards are ostensibly complete.
Long takes are often considered an alternative to editing The viewer gains the most obvious plot information from the shot but the shot lingers or things continue to happen without a cut occurring
Montage Editing: brings individual shots together to generate a shock, strange juxtaposition, or a new idea.
Disney Hyperrealism
The artistic paradigm promoted by Snow White has since been known as hyperrealism
The artistic paradigm promoted by Snow White has since been known as hyperrealism Paul Wells has come to define hyperrealism as referring to a mode of animation which despite the medium’s artifice strives for realism This paradox attempts to represent reality in a medium predicated on artificiality that makes hyperrealism an appropriate term frequently seen ‘as the yardstick by which other kinds of animation may be measure for its relative degree of ‘realism’ (Wells 1998, 25)
Mark Langer asserts that Dumbo shows two disparate animation traditions operating simultaneously within the Disney studio. These sequences ‘alternate between those presented in Disney’s West Coast style, an expression of the classic Hollywood tradition, and an imported East Coast style, which emphasized artifice, nonlinear narrative, and “rubbery” graphics’ (1990).
In my opinion,It offers a break from the predominantly naturalistic style of film, demonstrating the creative potential of animation to explore abstract concepts. The sequence captivates the viewer’s imagination with visually stunning art that adds an element of surprise and wonder.
