1. Music and sound
Genre: Romance - Silver linings play book
the type of music that is used in this trailer, is that it is upbeat it shows that the
character is really motivational and wants to prove to people that he is
capable of living with his illness and that he can try his best to control it. There
is also happy music which describes the feeling of the character falling in
love with a girl this shows that they are falling in love.
This is used because the music connects with the audience which makes
them feel as if they are drawn inside the trailer. This is something which makes
people ant to watch it because music isn’t always why movie trailers are
made. They much rather watch the trailer and see how good it is. If the music
is nice and powerful then people would definitely want to go and see it in the
cinema.
This appeals to the target audience because it makes them feel emotional
and excited because it describes the feeling of the character. There are
certain scenes where the trailer has certain scenes where the atmosphere is
happy and yet sad at the same time.
We can hear the beats of a drum playing in the beginning this becomes
more upbeat as the sound progresses. This sounds very motivational. Some of
the sounds that are used are very distinct as the music is very quiet but builds
up.
Some parts of the trailer, it shows that at dinner, the sound of the music is very
quiet but then progressively it gets louder as this builds up tension to show
what will happen next in the trailer. Another part of the trailer would be that
when the two characters are dancing the sound of the music is very loud
and is very upbeat.
The use of silence that is used in this trailer is when the character starts to talk.
Each time a person talks the music isn’t played as it is silence in the
background and all you can hear is a conversation. It also shows that there is
silence but gradually the music gets louder.
The structure of the trailer shows that each clip lasts up to around 20 seconds
allowing the trailer makers to quickly skip to the next clip. The editing of the
trailer looks very sharp and professional and it also looks like a lot of effort and
thinking went into making this trailer. What I have learnt from this research is
that music and sound is the key when making a trailer because it should suit
the atmosphere around it or it wouldn’t look to good.

Genre: Romance – The Notebook
The type of music that is used in this trailer was a classical music from the
1940’s, this felt heart-warming as there was a typical man and women who
fall in love. But also showing how their love grows through out the classical
music playing.
This is used because the target audience could feel the emotions as both
couple get together and slowly start falling for each other. It is typical
narrative convention of romance films that the couple will be faced with
obstacles, of which they will have to overcome. The obstacle in The
Notebook is the fact that she cannot make a go off her relationship as her
mother doesn’t approve of her relationship with him because she is an upper
class girl where he isn’t, This makes the audience feel like they should be
together or the saying ‘they were meant to be together’. The audience also
want to see who she gets with whether she gets married or not, who is the
love of her dreams?
The sort of sounds that I can hear is the sounds of the music playing. In the
beginning of the trailer there’s a bike bell ringing, laughter, which shows that
there are two couple laughing and having a good time while riding the bike.

3. In the beginning of the trailer there is happy cheery music which makes the
audience’s mood feel good. The trailer will show the negatives and positive
side of the trailer leaving the audience thinking if the movie will be good or
bad.
In this particular trailer there is no silence used because the only sound that
was used was an old classical tune being played throughout.
What I have learnt from this trailer is that there are not many music in the
trailer and there is only one song playing throughout.

Genre: Romance – The Vow
There is no music in the beginning but the only type of music that is coming
out is from the car. After that scene there is onl;y beeping noises which you
can only hear at hospitals.then a sad piece of music comes on when paige
finds out that she is engaged but she doesnt remember same song keeps on
going until it gets silence when they are both changing their clothes.then the
song changes to something else. Finally towards the end of the trailer a song
comes on which is hoppy and sounds as if something is coming together. This
is used because it shows the audience that pieces of music can change a
mood of a person and how they are feeling.
The affects this has on the audience is that we think that something good will
come out of the reklationship this is because we the audience can tell theat
Paige has forgotten who her husband is and starts falling in love with her ex
boyfriend instead, making Leo jelous.

4. In the beginning of the trailer it starts off with a happy couple laughing and
slowly it starts to go downfall when the noises of the bleeps come from the
hospital.
The sort of sounds that I can hear in this trailer is the music playing in the
background, there is laughter in the beginning of the trailer where paige is
laughing at her husband leo. Theres a crashing noise when the couple get hit
by a truck. Soon after that there is lots of beeping noises which is coming from
the hospital where paige is laying in bed saying she's in pain.
The use of silence is used when the couple are about to kiss but then
everything stops and goes silence because they are hit by a truck. It is also
quite silence when Leo says that he wants to fall in love with his wife again.
You cant forget your first love. What I have learnt from this trailer is that there
where less music which makes the target audience focused on the two
couple instead of listening to the music in the background.
