Cars trailer

The cars trailer is another great representation of Pixar animation. The fun American rock tune at the start of the trailer introduces a clssic american styled scene with the famous route 66 road. Voice overs are used over the top of the music which starts to give a baseline of the story and narrative. Traditional pixar adult humour making this a film for the family, rather than just for kids. Lots of lights, smoke and clean, clear bright colours, to represent the film in a fun way. Lots of zooms to show the enviroment, panning and fade transitions to maintain a constant smooth flow throughout. Great car sound effects, loud engine noises and cartooney SFX.

Preliminary task

In our preliminary task we used the following shots: two match on action, close up, long shot, mid shot, establishing shot, over the shoulder and reaction shot. We did this task successfully however, we did have some errors with our 2nd match on action shot. This was because the door was locked and had to use a different door. To improve we should of used more shots and had a door which opened so that we had a working match on action shot.
