Shane Carruth's low-budget sci-fi films Primer and Upstream Color rely on complex narratives and minimal special effects rather than CGI, yet have achieved cult status. Darren Aronofsky's Pi also uses minimal effects through its story of a paranoid mathematician obsessed with finding a secret numeric code. Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 film Alphaville envisions a future where emotions are outlawed through its dystopian world-building and references rather than effects. These films fascinate audiences through their stories and styles rather than solely relying on visual effects.

The trailer for Blue Valentine uses various techniques to set the tone and introduce the main characters and their relationship. It begins with a soft fade into the two main characters to create a romantic feel. Next, it shows the characters dancing and singing happily to establish them as a loving couple.

It ends by displaying the title against a black background and one final happy shot of the couple to leave the audience wanting more without giving too much away.
