Significant 12 snipits from our Marmalady trailer that make it conform to a trailer


















 Firstly, the institution titles conform to that of a trailer, and up the professionalism of the production. The centre placed titles and consistency flow with the trailer and conform to our trailers genre. The use of a personally created green band conforms to a trailer, as this is commonly shown at the start of a trailer. We made our own on the software "Paint.Net" as we just wanted to replicate both the red and green band into one. Many indie coming of age movies show a scene in which two people are at the beach, this was progressed into our trailer to suggest time over a long period of time, as it is evident that the seasons change as it is contrasted between a shot of the protagonist and love interest kissing with winter coats on, as opposed to swimwear at the start of the trailer, and during the montage. The use of the sock scene was also a factor in recognising it as a trailer, as most trailers use close up shots of body parts for transitioning to the next shot.

The close up shot of Sam mocking Lola is an evident portrayal of a trailer as this is where the fast pace music is cut off for the characters dialogue with a record scratching sound and enables the audience to laugh. The fast pace of the shots by its use of jump cuts and transitions apply to a trailer as it doesn't drag out the story, and keeps the key aspects of it, while intriguing the audience. The contrasted portrayal of the relationship between Ricky and Lola in the party scene and the Montage is evident in suggesting a trailer like production as this is suggesting a progression over time which is most commonly shown in trailers.

The final scene of protagonist Lola lying on the grass is the most important scene of all in suggesting a trailer, as this is shown as a reflection over the past few minutes shown through trailer, however longer period of time for the protagonist. This is commonly used in movies or music videos where the one who has prevalence is shown beginning and ending the production, by seeing them begin in a different light to how they've ended out as. This is overlayed with narration of the protagonist saying "Growing up is finding out who you are and what you want" making that the most recognisable phrase throughout the film. Once she has finished with the narration, we are shown the movie title "Marmalady"suggesting its trailer-esque portrayal, followed by the institution logo and quick paced credits, finishing with a "Coming soon" there foreinferring that it will be out in cinemas shortly.
