Love Distrust Official Trailer



This trailer has quite a dark romantic theme, rather than connotations of a typical romance movie. The lighting is generally dark, as is the background non-diegetic music which is the same piano song throughout. The music is rather spooky and builds tension with the audience as they watch. The beginning of the trailer includes quick faded cuts of scenes from the movie so that the audience get a feel of what it is about. The captions and shots shown don't give much away about the movie. However, with words like "longing, loneliness, hope, love" that come up on the screen, the audience receive connotations of a sad love story. So the captions would appeal to females, whilst the dark side to the story would also appeal to males. There seems to be a mix of characters - some are ordinary looking whilst others have more of a specific persona to them. For example, there is one particular gothy girl who looks quite scary wearing black. The trailer seems to be more about the actors themselves than the actual story as half of the trailer is filled up with shots of the actors and their names.

My trailer is going to contrast with Love Distrust because my story is fully romantic with no dark side and it will be about the story rather than the characters.
