Rubber – the movie of a killer tire starts with an opening scene in extremely long shot of a guys standing in a dessert. This shot establishes the environment (the dessert near a dirt road) and introduces us to the tour guide by using a medium-long shot. A car appears on the road and hits several chairs on its way so they fall down (the question is why? “No reason”). A sheriff gets out of the car and starts explaining how a lot of things happen “for no reason” in movies. The use of medium-long shot makes it possible to see some facial expressions.
The movie is about a movie of a tire, and how these spectators experience the events in a different way and attach different meanings to them. Throughout the movie, different shots such as medium-close up and close up are used to get more familiar with the tire. When the tire uses its telekinetic powers to blow up different things, the big close up is used to illustrate the anger that the tire is feeling (I assume) together with audio codes in terms of special effects, that sounds like an engine that is overheating.
One of the most important hints in the movie is the song “don’t wanna be lonely” and this is an example of how audio codes can be used to set up the story and give us an insight into the mind of the tire.
