Film Trailer
The trailer starts with the film classifications, saying who the film is appropriate for. The titles for the film appear as if they were written on a typewriter, over a beach in the background, which acts as an establishing shot to show the kind of place the film is set. Then more inter-titles appear showing the film is made by The Weinstein Company, Film 4 and the National Lottery. Then the main character Oliver Tate is introduced by him narrating over different shots of him, he is seen using a typewriter making it seem as if he is typing out the inter-titles, which read out the what's happening in the trailer, e.g. 'Introduce Protagonist' appeared when Oliver did, he says that he "wishes there was a film crew following his every move" and with him typing out the intertitles it gives the impression that he is just acting out his life, and kind of breaks the fourth wall. Oliver then explains a bit about himself to the audience so they get a feel of his character, he is a teenager who is trying to work out who he is, and hasn't quite found his place in the world yet. This is a common theme is coming of age films, and because the audience is mostly likely to be teenagers going through similar things to Oliver, making him relatable. The trailer then 'establishes relationships' as the inter title points out, and it's shown that Oliver spies on his parents or 'monitors' them, which turns into an important plot point of the film. Then his love interest Jordana is introduced, she is wearing a red coat which connotates love or passion. She is also described as being 'moderately unpopuar' and an outsider which the teenage audience might also relate to if they feel that way. After the characters are introduced small details about the plot are given, like Oliver's and Jordana's first date and then something potentially bad happening between the two as she is seen with another boy and Oliver wants to be excused from class because "his tiny heart is broken", which shows that although it is a teen drama there is also a comedic side to the film.
