Cars 3

     The movie cars 3 is an astonishing film. It's fully animated to catch the audience attention. The targeted audience is young children. In the film, Lightning McQueen sets out to prove to a new generation of high tech race cars that he is still the best racing car in the world.

    The movie has a soundtrack which features "Run That Race", an original song written and performed by Dan Auerbach. The director used this song because the theme of it is about never giving up and always trying your best. The film's score was composed by Pixar's frequent collaborator, Randy Newman. A film score is original music composed and recorded for a film. It's designed to fit the film and its story. In the beginning of the movies, Ligthning Mcqueen has a lot of flashbacks. These flashbacks are created to show the memories that have been made and to represent the past, it helps the viewers better understand present-day elements in the story or learn more about a character. Flashback's also interrupt the chronological order of the main narrative to take a reader back in time to the past events in a character's life. Flashbacks sometimes also contain L-cuts, where the audio from the preceding scene continues to play over the footage from the following scene. A J-cut which does happen also, is the reverse of an L-cut.


      Establishing shots of the race tracks, sets up the scene by showing the settings and location of where the event is going to take place. Establishing shots take up major parts of the movie, almost every major scene an establishing shot happens. Lightening has a trainer called Cruz Ramirez, in some of the scenes where there is serious discussions between the two of them and sometimes with a third party, a master shot  occurs which is vital so that all the characters can be in the shot while they are talking among themselves. Both LM and CR are the main characters in Cars 3. In the scene of LM training on the beach, a long shot was taken near the pier to where LM was getting ready to race. This long shot gives the context of the distance between the cinema screen and the image. In this specific shot in the movie it could be analyzed by others to be an establishing shot but the shot mostly focuses on what LM is about to do not where he currently is. In almost all the times where there is a race where LM is involved there is POV, it gives the view of what LM is looking directly at. The director gives this shot so that audience mostly kids, can feel like if it was them who is racing. They'll feel attached and feel like their in it for the ride. 

     The majority of the movie a significant amount of time takes place in race tracks, in the beginning of the movie and the ending of the movie, there is a big blimp which works as a camera person giving an aerial shot of the event. The shot is taken from a high viewpoint, giving a bird's eye view. Cars 3 is a great movie to watch as a young family consisted of children. It's full of different shots and editing techniques that each convey a specific purpose that is put on by the director.
