Disney Cars trailer analysis

Cars Trailer analysis:

Overview: Cars is a Disney-animated movie, which centres around toy cars, who are animated but who have real voices, and are supposedly real. Within the movie 'people' are cars, and it centres in a world of cars, with much reference to popular culture and figures in real life. it was released to public audiences, to watch in cinemas first in the year 2006, The movie is produced by the famous animation company, pixar and was released by Walt Disney pictures. it was also bought by Disney later. The film had quite a lot of success, at least enough that a sequel was made named cars 2, which was released in 2012. The cast in the movie features actors such as Owen Wilson, Larry The Cable Guy, Bonnie hunt and many other great actors, all of whom helped make the movie into a premier and a overall excellent movie.

Mise En Scene The movie cars contains scenery, props and and a background which is unique to its movie as well as the genre. For example cars is animated and yet contains reference to real nascar drivers, in its character cast, doc Hudson is based off real nascar driver Paul Newman who unfortunately passed away before the events of the second movie. The movie also has scenery such as when mcqueen was taken captive in the radiator springs town, it showed a hill-billy sort of atmosphere in the background, this suggests to the target audience that the movie itself is themed around american nascar racing, and so the setting theme is american as well evidently. 

as well as that we see all the usual props in a Disney animated film, such as toys, buildings, and the cars in the movie all animated of course.

Sound: The sound in the movie is mainly shown as diegetic, the sound mainly includes the different sounds of the engines revving, as well as the noises of the cars, talking to each other and conversing in their own respectable ways, most of this is shown on the screen therefore it is diegetic. As well as that we have other sounds such as the cheering of the crowds, the commentators discussing the events of the races. all of this sound is done effectively and well. the sound tells the target audience what happens in the film and what things we appear and how it all relates to the film so it is important that the sound is effective and appropriate. 

What we find out about the plot; Lightning is a rookie car racer, who is in the middle of a race of the finale between chick hicks, and Dinoco the 'King', This race mainly is between the three rivals, however the race unfortunately ends in a tie and so another race has to be arranged so they can decide the final winner, the race takes place in a short amount of time, however mcqueen is lost on his way in his truck, and finds himself in so-called hill-billy hell in the town of radiator springs, he ends up destroying most of the road and has to stay to fix it, while initially the characters there are disgruntled towards him this is short lived as everyone becomes very close friends with mcqueen, and are heartbroken when he is found and has to leave. The ending race involves Dinoco being thrown onto the side and being very damaged, Lightning helps him and he is hailed as a champion, he also makes radiator springs appear back on the map and begins a romance with sally and sets the events of the next movie.

Camera shots/composition: There are many camera shots and angles within cars, just one of them is the mid-shots of sally when they were going for a 'drive' around a beautiful cliff in radiator springs, it shows the radiance and beauty of sally then the camera quickly shoots back to Lightning with mud in his teeth, this is done effectively and we find this funny as the contrast between sally and lightning is shown. Another shot is when we see lightning appear conversing with tow mater, and we see close-up shots of lightning and tow mater, and their respective facial expressions, we see the model and design of lightning as well, as he is a nascar, he is modelled partially on a ford GT as well. we also see over the shoulder shots when the road is fixed and everyone is seen dancing on it in a timely fashion.
