**Describe your chosen topic and its application in today’s society.**

CGI or computer generated imagery is when you create moving pictures through the use of computers. This process requires certain 3D animation software tools like blender, 3ds Max, Maya. In order to create a CGI, the first step must be the crating of a geometric models of the object generally a ‘wire frame’; once this is done the surface appearance of the object is determined.

The idea of 3D CGI in today’s society is a development from a basic cartoon animation into a virtual world that attempts to mirror realism as accurately as possible. This is done by dividing up the world into the smallest parts possible, and then controlling those parts of real world objects to react, move and change according to other objects and conditions inside that 3D world.

**A typical end-user and why and how they might use an application** A typical end user Bonnie Arnold, a film animation producer in Hollywood has worked at places such as DreamWorks Animation and Pixar Animation Studios. Bonnie contributed to the making of Disney’s toy story which became a box office smash hit grossing in $361,958,736.By using the application to create rich textures of video games and the fictional 3D world in movies. The film was produced entirely, using the technology of computer animation. Over the last forty years, the use of computer generated imagery animation in commercials, television, and movies have been increasingly successful. The reason for this is that compared to other animation methods, CGI is cheaper unlike the use of actors, expensive set pieces and props. CGI is also very flexible as things can be changed very easily and very usefully. For example if the colour of a characters shirt needs to be changed in a certain scene, there is no waiting around for the actors to come on set to re-do the whole scene, It can edited using the CGI I program.

For the film production of Toy Story, it went through several stages before the use of CGI I was used to make the movie.  //At this point in the process, CGI is used. Props and characters are scanned or are modelled in 3-D in the computer.// 8. The sets are created in 3-D to create a believable world 9. Shots are laid out. //Through the use of CGI, the scenes are made, capturing the emotion and story point of each scene and choreographing characters.//
 * 1) A story idea is pitched
 * 2) The text treatment is written (summary of the main idea of the story)
 * 3) Storyboards are drawn
 * 4) Temporary voices are recorded
 * 5) Editorial begins making reels
 * 6) The art department illustrates the characters and their world
 * 7) Models are sculpted and articulated.

10.The shot is animated //Computer controls are used to choreograph movements and facial expressions.// 11.sets and characters are shaded //This is one of the advantages of CGI. Touch ups can be done to ensure that each scene has the correct lighting.//

12.Lighting completes the look //Digital light is used to enhance the emotion and mood of each scene//.

13.the computer data is “rendered” //a computer system interprets the data and incorporates motion blur.// 14. Final touches. //The film goes through an editorial to look thought the completion of the film and the sound effects.//

As you can see, through the stages of making 'Toy Story', how CGI was used in the making the film - Characters in the CGI films may end up looking coincindetly similiar to people in society and can result in the company being sued if they are unable to deny the allogation with evidence. - plagarism can occur when characters in the movie look similiar to characters in previous CGI films. - Viewers may be offended of the way the film represents a certain stereotype.For example, christians trying to convert other people to their religion.
