remember me

The film poster is very simple, with just actor names and the title of the film. The typography is very simple, which reflects the trailer. and the picture looks like a film still or a photograph that the couple might have, it does not focus on the actors. The picture would appeal to female audience more i think, but it is not really cheesy and the characters look like ordinary people, which shows that it is not just a teen movie.




-This trailer begins with the typical green notice about age certificate


-the first shot is a close up of a moving train, a voiceover begins of a young male voice, talking philosophically about Ghandi and we immedietely know the film is pretty serious.


-the next shot is a short shot of actor Robert Pattinson, which makes the audience assume that the voice belongs to him


- The next shot is a section of the film where Tyler breaks up a fight in the street using violence but ends up in trouble with the police, this is the first hint of his rebellious personality.


- The next section introduces Tylers father, Peirce Brosnan, where they are arguing about the fact that Tyler has been bailed out by his father. This shows that his father throws money at his children and as Brosnan is in a suit and clearly in an office environment suggests that he has little time for his children. The focus on Tyler shows that he is the main character.


-This is followed by a section with his younger sister, immediately introducing his family in the first few seconds, which lets the audience bond with the character.


- a white background with simple red letters says "he broke the rules." this is followed by a clip from the film where Tyler is smoking in the office, it shows a more humourous element to the film. It also shows that Tyler is very rebellious and i think this would appeal to a younger audience.


- another screen reads "he had lost his way." This is followed by a clip that introduces his flatmate, moaning at him about being reclusive. This shows that he is not like other students his age and is clearly a complex character, perhaps struggling to come to terms with a tragedy.


- a white screen reads "until the moment." we are introduced to a female character, and we see the twist in the story, as she is first met as revenge to her father, the policeman who hit Tyler.


- "he let someone in." We are then shown clips of their relationship. The girl is strange but somewhat endearing, having dessert before her main course, again showing comedy. Their relationship is cute and easy to watch, it is not cheesy or full on, but the typical love story is obvious now.


- A screen shows the name of the production company, which is unusual halfway through the trailer. The screen is the same as the others previously.


- acoustic music starts. We are shown clips of the film which suggest that the relationship is messy, there are clips showing desperation and anger.


- The characters names are shown in turn briefly on the screen.


- The voiceover is heard again, somewhat forgetable thoughts from Tylers head which show that we the veiwer of the film would have a deep connection with this character, finding out everything about him.


- The name of the film appears followed by the credits and the music fades out.


- The genre of this film is different to the other two that i have looked at, the difference is that there is huge focus on learning everything about the main character, which i think appeals to a female audience, as generally men arent as bothered about feelings. There is nothing exciting about this trailer or anything that will keep the veiwer on their toes, but the fact that it is clearly quite a serious film about a love story, which differs from other films about love stories which are very positive, may make the veiwer of the trailer intrigued about the complex character. the titles are very boring and there are no special effects, which shows that the film is realistic and there are no inhuman elements to the storyline. The trailer does not show further than a messiness in quite an intense relationship, but the fact we find out at the end of the trailer that the film is called "remember me" suggests tragedy.
