TRAILER DECONSTRUCTION TWO - THE BACK UP PLAN

 For my seond film trailer deconstruction I decided to use the trailer from the film the back up plan, I used this film because it is a romantic comedy which invovles alot of romance and comedy combined. I think it was a good one to use because its different to other films and the trailer for it doesn't give the story line away too much.

Overview of the trailer

• When the trailer starts it goes straight into a close up of the main characters face who is starting to tell her own story.
• It goes straight into humour of "We don't need to have sex, but will you just be my baby daddy" making the audience want to watch on to see what is going to happen.
• After the bit of humour and a short part of the main characters story it then breaks out into a really upbeat song, maybe showing the emotion of the charater or the fact that it is a romantic comedy genre.
• There is a voice over from the main character telling her own story and telling her thoughts and feelings to the audience so that they can bound with her and get to know her a bit better so that they can start to relate and make a realationship with the charater.
• There are also text shots which keep on telling the story or story changes when something else is going to happen in the trailer which isn't following on to what has just been happening in the trailer.
• The main character says "this is time for my back up plan" bringing in the title of the film means that the title does mean something in the film and does actually tell a story.
• After the trailer has been on for 0.45 seconds it then starts bringing the romantic element of the film in after it all being mainly comedy.
• After the 0.45 second mark of the film I noticed that there are a lot of close ups, over the shoulder shots and two-shots, this is done for the romantic side of the film showing that the story is about two people who are together.
• After it looking like there is only one main character for the half of the trailer it turns out that there is two main characters.
• At the end of the trailer there are close ups of the characters with there names next to them in text.
• The colours that are used in the trailer are consistant through the whole trailer.
