Submarine Trailer

Submarine is an independent film, made in 2011, it's a film focused on the coming of age and young love, following the story of one young boy named Oliver Tate. The trailer always reveals a fair bit about how the producers and creators of the film want the movie to be interpreted, by looking at what the trailer attempts to sell to the audience therefore I'm going to analyse the trailer of Submarine.

In this print screen the serene background of a very calm and slightly purple tinted ocean implies that one of the aspects that the film sells is serenity and calmness - it appears as an easy-to-watch, sweet film. Therefore the film  trailer automatically - even from the very first opening shot suggests that one of the main aspects of this movie will be romance, due to the beach being a very typically romantic setting.




Whereas in this shot, the trailer reveals the film's creative yet realistic aspects - this title sequence appears using a type-writer effect and the type-writer sound, that action in itself is an implication that the audience are literally being told the story as it's being written. Therefore it's very personal and honest, it comes directly from the lead character introducing himself which is unique
because it gives the impression that the film is very simple and natural, it is what it is, so it's selling point is it's individuality. 'Protagonist' is only usually in huge action films and comic books so that suggests that the character has quite an active creative imagination, therefore as a narrator may produce a fair bit of entertainment and different creativity throughout the narrative.


Finally in this shot of the trailer, romance is truly sold to the audience. The very innocent and touching kiss between the two young teenagers hints that the plot revolves around the classic story of the first love - which everyone can relate to. The use of the vintage camera in this scene, also implies that the film will appeal to those who are fans of quaint British drama's. It also represents this moment as gleaming in Oliver's memory, therefore even in the trailer the lead character is presented as very sweet and likable, so the trailer sells the nerdy sweet young boy who fell in love - the audience feel an obligation to check that he got his dream girl in the movie.
