'The Big Wedding' Trailer HD
This is one of many successful romantic comedy trailers, this is a film I recently watched which I very much enjoyed and I find this trailer to be really effective and amusing,it represents the key themes of this film very well. It begins with the well known titl,e institution "Lionsgate" Which has produced award winning films such as Hunger games,Twilight,Now you see me, Saw and many more films.Thus influencing the audience to watch this film as the film will most likely be successful.As there institution titles appear there is also non diegetic sound of what seems to be the sound of maracas shaking. This produces the trailer with rhythm. There is then a quick slide effect from the institution shot to the first significant scene, a long establishing shot of a mansion near the river.There is the sounds of dogs barking which is used as a sound bridge to the next middle shot of a lady knocking on the door and calling out "hello".We are immediately introduced to the genre as we see the lady walking in to an awkward situation of a man and another woman getting sexual with each other, which is amusing for the audience. The camera pans side ways from the main lady to the other lady and then to the mans facial expression when he says "hey my ex wife is here" in a sarcastic tone. This reinforces the awkwardness which is a common mood in most comedy films. There is then a jump cut back to trailer narrative shot where it reads "this fall" and then cross cuts back to the scene of the ladies having dialogue then cuts back to the narrative " the family gathers". This use of editing of cross cutting of scenes is very effective in reminding the audience that this is a trailer as it cuts out from the illusion that it is reality it is also effective in broadening the audiences understanding of the plot.There is then following extract shots of family members such as the dad and the daughter greeting each other. To refer back to the narrative shot. There is happy background music playing during these scenes "love don't come easy" which gives the trailer a light hearted theme. there is then some effective editing in a medium shot of the families adopted son and his fiancée talking about how his extremely catholic biological mother is coming for his wedding. when the lines" she is?" is delivered the non diegetic background music comes to an abrupt stop. To highlight the importance of his biological mother coming suggesting it is a key aspect in the film. The use of abruptly stopping music is very conventional in comedy film trailers , and is an editing skill me and Eleanor are planning on achieving in our trailer. The trailer is followed then by another song which is also upbeat but louder as the scenes are shorter and snappier, there are rapid shots of misunderstandings(when they attempt to speak spanish to his biological mother)and slapstick comedy all indicating the genre of this film. towards the end of the trailer the actors names are mentioned bellow medium shots of them in the movie.
