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.
   
   
   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?
    It shows that he is a goofy guy and young at heart, not just a creepy old guy with lots of toys.
   3.   There was no reporter stand-up.  Should there have been?  Explain your answer.
    I don't think it was needed. The beginning was needed to establish the place and the rest of the story was focused on the owner. The only way a stand-up would have worked is if they had a shot of the reporter interviewing the owner. 
     The photograph provided a nice surprise.  How did that further establish him as a character invested in the toy store?

1.  It showed that he had strong attachment to these toys, not only because he loved them, but also because he grew up with them. He wants to preserve his childhood. 
    I enjoyed the shot at the beginning with the top.
    The pan between the two toy soldiers 
    Te shot of the Rolls Royce 
   5.  Was there information you didn’t get that you really want
2. How long has this museum been open? how did he get it started?
