Happy feet analysis trailer

Happy feet trailer analysis:

Overview: The movie happy feet is a animated film which was made in Sydney, the movie itself stars a cast including actors such as, Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, Brittany Murphy and many more. Happy feet is well known for being a successful film. A interesting fact about the movie is also that Warner bros was on too tight of a budget to release the movie on Imax 3D, this meant that the movie could have sparked a lot more interest and got a ton more popularity if they had a higher budget, happy feet made a lot of success at box office and made more than enough, meaning that it was a great film which had a lot of success, unfortunately this was put down a bit by its sequel.

Mise En Scene: Within the movie happy feet the scenery and props are computer-generated meaning that it is not actual, however it was still done very well, and was high-definition. The theme of the movie is a icy-snowy atmosphere about the story of penguins, The movie itself was actually part-inspired by the BBC documentary Life in a Freezer. therefore the scenery was actually pretty realistic, as it is based on a real-life documentary. the props, include computer-generated penguins, the main characters being a penguin by the name of mumble, and Gloria. we see the penguins interacting with each other, throughout the film, The penguins, life cycle is shown throughout the movie, such as the birth of the egg, and the enduring and suffering the father has to partake in, to make sure the egg is warm enough to hatch and survive.

Mumbles being the main character is sometimes also deserted, on his own, this suggests that mumble is a particularly important penguin and also needs to do a lot throughout the movie to prove himself and almost 'earn' his partner and or family.

Camera shots/Composition: Within the movie happy feet, we see all sorts of came shots, and different angles throughout the movie to add fleur, and generally make the movie seem more like a animated film, We see over the shoulder shots, when Gloria and both mumble are together, and showing their romantic love with each other, this is effective in my opinion because it details the romance they have for each other. we also see more camera shots of mumble's parents, Memphis and Norma Jean, when they are holding their son in the movie we see close-ups of mumbles facial expressions of happiness and a almost sound relief.

Editing: Throughout the movie and in the trailer we see evident scenes and shots that have been edited throughout, one example of this is the different songs and dancing throughout the movie, this had to be choreographed and edited specially by the design crew, more editing, is when mumble switches from a kid to a adult, this had to be done specifically in accordance with the directors wishes as they wanted it similar to the aforementioned BBC documentary, we see editing in the from of the animation as well, the animation had to be high-definition, and make it look realistic but yet include a child-friendly element so that it doesn't become too realistic.

Sound: The sound in the movie is prevalent throughout as being mainly diegetic as the majority of sound is coming from objects which are actually on the screen, like the screaming, shouting and dancing all coming from the penguins who are present there. and the sound is also coming from the voice actors who are playing the different actors voices.

What we find out about the plot: the plot revolves around mumble, a penguin who is the son of Memphis and Norma, supposedly having 'Happy' feet and always dancing, finding love with a female penguin called Gloria this is the main focus of the plot, however mumble also gets himself in quite a few troublesome situations as well and is at one point forced the leave the penguin colony and essentially fend for himself, this is the main plot in the movie..
