Influences: Affair to remember

When looking at this trailer, we liked the idea that there was a voice over at the beginning telling the audience the story behind the trailer but not giving too much away,we particularly liked the idea that the voice over was continuing as scenes were going on, even overlapping into another scene. They even added quite a comedic tone to the trailer when Nicky( the male walking round the steps) and Terry ( the women on the stairs) were talking and she asked him to circle the steps the other way, not knowing that she had walked up the stairs he came back round and there was another women there.



Although, this may have nothing to do with the storyline I liked when there was a  pan shot of  the choir then zoomed in on the little girl singing a part of the song on her own, then used a reverse zoom back to the choir; this was interesting as it like there may be another sub-story in this film apart from the main plot as well as the fact that this is an interesting piece of editing to incorporate



I also liked the effect that they used at the end of the scene, as they used the screen effect of a wipe into the next scene. 

Though, I'm not sure if there was digetic or non-digetic sound being used nevertheless I found it interesting how they used that to convey the romantic aspect of the trailer. Additionally, I like how the titles appeared on the screen also emphasising the screen effect of a wipe making that part look smooth. The titles helped to re-emphasise the romance in the trailer such as, 'You'll love through every moment of it!' 

Lastly, I like the way they concluded the trailer, as the title ' An affair to remember'  came up it showed the two characters kissing underneath the title which I thought was a different and interesting feature to the end of the trailer; it was like a last aspect to the trailer to bring the audience in.
