Uses Of Animation

Entertainment - 

The biggest use for animation is for entertainment. Animation is used on the TV, on your phones, and all over the internet.In television, animation is mostly used to occupy children, as is gives them something to laugh about and keep them entertained for long periods of time. Programmes such as Tom and Jerry are created to make the children laugh, and tell the audience that just because you are bigger than someone else, doesn't make you better.

Many movies these days are created using animation. Films like Shrek and Finding Nemo gained a massive profit from people watching the film and buying the merchandise.

Animation isn't just for children. Programmes like Family Guy and American Dad are animations that get adults laughing.

Education - 

Animation is used in education because it make children watch the animation and not get bored with it allowing them to intake information. A good example is on the BBC Bitesize website, as all of their information is supported by bright colours, animations, and characters that attract the audience and allows them to revise and learn without losing attention.
Many animated childrens programmes are used for an educational use. For example, Dora the Explorer teaches children how to speak basic English and Spanish, and tell right from wrong.

Advertisement -

Animation plays a big part in advertisement. Many big companies use animation in some kind of way to attract the audience. An example of animation in advertising is the Dancing Pony Advert by the phone company 'Three'. This advert attracted millions of people all over the world to their website and in return they gained a massive profit.

Animation is also used for advertisement on the web. Many games companies create cool looking animations to attract the audience to play the game or visit the website.

Without animation in adverts, advertisement would be incredibly boring.



Scientific Visualisation - 

Animation is used to create models that are essential for research and study. Animation allows you to create 3D, realistic models that allow diagrams etc to show accurate representations of an object.
An example of this is an X-ray. Doctors use this to get an accurate look at bones etc. so that problems can fixed quicker and more efficiently. 




Simulations - 

Simulations are mostly used in the military for weapons training and to train for certain events. Pilots also use simulations to practice their flight training without having to spend money on fuel and equipment. Simulations are also used for practicing events and to get a predicted outcome for something. For example, when NASA are planning on putting a rocket in space, they will use simulations to get a predicted outcome of what might happen. This is essential because it can potentially save lives and resources.
