Toy Story

 1. The camera work in this story is very advanced.  It uses various angles, foregrounds, sequences, and lots of tights.  List three shots that were the most memorable for you.
 - The train going around the train track.
 - The gigantic pink head of the dinosaur
 - The huge teddy bear standing in by the entrance of the museum.
2.  How does the proprietor’s joke at the start of the story help establish him as a character?  What does it tell us about him?
 - The jokes at the start of the story showed that toys are the other half of him figuratively. He puts so much time and effort into the museum. It also shows that he is a total kid on the inside meaning that even though he is older he doesn't let that effect his ability to have fun and enjoy life.
3.   There was no reporter stand-up.  Should there have been?  Explain your answer.
 - No because the story was entertaining, funny, cheesy, and informing all at the same time. There is no nee for a reporter stand up.
 The photograph provided a nice surprise.  How did that further establish him as a character invested in the toy store?
 - The photograph showed that he as the owner has invested do much of his time into toys and even though he is older now that doesn't mean he cannot have fun.
5.  Was there information you didn't get that you really wanted?
 - No not really.


focus statement: One sentence that will guide what the story will be about.
