R&P Romance The Vow

The trailer first starts out with introducing the main characters, however at the start of the trailer it does not show who is the hero and the princess, although one can make a good guess.
The trailer then continues on until the equilibrium is disrupted, as is stated in todorov's theroy and the hero has to find a way to make his wife, who has forgotten everything, fall in love with him again.
The trailer, like most trailers gives away alot of the plot, however it does not give away the ending, meaning that the audience will have to see the film to find out the ending.

Mise en scene is used to create the atmosphere that the director intended. Before the accident, the film is bright and colourful, with the characters looking like they are enjoying themselves, bright filters are used to emphasise this. After the accident, the mood changes, with the rooms being darkly lit, especially in the hospital which are the shots directly after the accident shots. This gives a much more dark and depressing feel to the audience.

The music used also contrasts between before and after accident. Before the accident,the music makes the audience feel happy, but after the accident, the music stops, making the audience feel tense as the atmosphere changes completely, the music then comes back in which helps to lighten the mood back up again and give a sense of hope.

The lighting is also used effectively to emphasise the feelings the director is trying to portray. The lighting used in the beginning before the accident is bright and colourful, the lighting then changes to blue filtered dark light in the hospital, making the scene more tense and engaging to the audience, this helps to grip the audience and make them want to watch on to see the outcome. After the tense moments in the hospital, lighting is switched back to bright and colourful to give the audience hope and lighten up the mood, just as the music does.

The release date, as shown at the end of the trailer, is valentines day, which is a typical release date for a romance film, as it its targeting couples and a younger audince, and it would make sense to release the film on valentines day.

The titles used are few and far between, except from the really cheesy actors credits rarely seen in big films, with the actors coming up in a bull shot as their names appear on the screen, but i guess if you are interested in seeing this film, you probably wouldn't care anyway.
