2. - Independent
production
companies above
title.
- Actors names
below title
(not very well
known)
Conventional for
independent. But in
the middle of the
whole poster.
- Mostly black and
white with pops
or red and
orange.
- Hints that there is
colour in the
mundane lives of
the characters i.e.
woman on chair
in colour implies
there’s more to
see if you look
beyond the black
and white.- Unclear handwritten
font (reflects
identity theme of
finding oneself
and makes it
more personal),
some letters
lower case and
some capital
shows informal
and relatable film
style.
- Woman depicting
a conventional
image of loneliness
but her face is
hidden (could be
anyone – opens to
the audience)
3. - Opens with prod. Company logo.
- Banjo/guitar strumming western
country soundtrack creates comedic
effect as it cuts to the woman with a
run down car seemingly in the
middle of nowhere.
- Audience left to
guess who, where,
what and why with
first establishing
shot.
- Independent comedy drama genre
established from first shot.
4. - Cuts between shots like
these. Photo (left) and
short take of the arrival of
a woman (bottom)
- Similar in framing, the
colours and general
image/setting are the same.
(Naturally lit wide shots)
- Fragmented but carry the
same theme and story.
- Balloons show the childlike
nature of friends and
growing up/coming of
age. (Nostalgia)
- Woman arriving blends into
colours of frame and
appears swallowed by
surroundings. Lower
down centre frame
makes her looks
new/finding
5. - Contrasting short take and
snap shot/photo edited
together again but very
different.
- Intimate/friendly feelings
stirred, pinks/whites/soft
lighting. Women look
similar. (Centre frame in
wide shot)
- Similar image again both
wide shots.
- (Below) Women look
separated, bleak
colours, age
difference
representing
different times but
same themes
6. - Edited in a way
that mimics
remembering a
memory and
contrasts in
loneliness and
friendship again.
- Careful framing
that makes the
overall trailer flow
cohesively.
- Difference in
soft/low key and
harsh but natural
lighting throughout
the trailer.
7. - Difference in
lighting again
showing a difference
in time period or
different
relationships.
- Naturalistic
way of
marginalising
different
relationships.
8. - Mix between
handwritten/ink and
capital block letters.
- Actors underlined keeping
handwritten personal feel
to the trailer. (Letter to
the audience)
- Ending with release info. (Too
vague for our film however)
