Limitless is very interesting. It is about a man
who takes a pill that allows 100% of his
brain instead of the 20% to function on a
level higher than anyone has every
functioned on.
Eddie ( the main actor) becomes the perfect
form of himself. His life is transformed but as
can be expected not all for the good.
How is the narrative told? The script is plot
driven through the storyline instead of being
character drive through the storyline. Through
the trailer, it is told through first person from
Eddie .
What is the theme of limitless? There are a
range of themes portrayed in limitless but the

in our modern society.
The corrupting nature of power and money and
the dangers of science is the 3 themes which are

Write about the sort of editing (style) that is
used in teasers.
The editing used in the teaser trailer is a lot of
very quick shots to represent the significant if
how the drugs changes Eddie in a quick amount
of time once taken. The shots getting faster
throughout the teaser trailer, represent the fact
that when Eddie would take double amount of
the drug, the faster and quicker his brain would
function. The high amount of mid shots and
close up show the emotion that the production
team want the audience to see through the
changes that Eddie goes through.
