Use of text:

Animated caption

Brief description:

The text at the beginning is a clear rotating motion graphic accompanied by an image of the wrestling belt. The belt stays still but the ‘WWE’ logo within the belt spins twice for about 3 seconds each. When the wrestler walks out, a caption appears. There are stars circling the text, this is symbolising the USA as ‘WWE’ is an American company.

There is also an example of video compositing. It occurs when the wrestler first steps out from back stage as he walks to the ring with a video being played behind him.

Techniques used:

When the video is playing, you notice that the dominant colour on show is red and the caption graphic is blue. This is using the technique of contrasting colours so that the caption is clearly legible and stands out. It is once again symbolising the USA.

Advanced techniques:

There is a clear rotation on the spinning logo within the belt, as well as the rotating stars around the animated caption. All of the images appear sharp and clear to see, as well as a colour contrast to make it that extra noticeable.

Technical comments:

It is at a resolution of 360p. (baseline). If it was in HD, the resolution would be 480p.

The screen ratio is 640x360. This is 640 pixels in width and 360 pixels in height.

As this was originally broadcast for US TV, then the frame rate is 30fps (frame per second) for standard definition. From research, it is 24fps or 60fps for HDTV in the USA. In logic, you would expect HD to have a higher fps than standard TV so I am going to say 60fps.

The codec for YouTube is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
