Mise en Scene:
The trailer starts of with the couple in an apartment together with the women in her bra and the man in a vest top and braces discussing topics arguing then coming together kissing romantically and sexually. They are in New york in a small but luxary looking apartment with a nice bed and furntiure. This then is cut with slides stating the man has passed away of which the lighting changes to a dark setting with only really candles visble for light. She is know wearing black clothes and this all creates a gloomy atmosphere in the apartment as its all messy. Then after the next slide the apartment is all lite up with natural light and she has cleaned up and has fresh makeup and colourful clothes on which is matched in the scene by an irish stereotypical lepricorn in her doorway who is all colourful in typical irsh colours of green and gold. This changes the atmosphere and shwos the New York skyline in its beauty with the busy, fast pace of the city. This then switchs to Ireland with scenes of the green landscape of peace and quite and open water in contrast with the grey and dull setting of compacted New York. The mise en scene seen is Ireland is stereotypical of animals seen, pints of guiness in the background of the pubs and people playing music. The girls are also wearing different clothes taking a different fashion approach to what they wear in New York. In New york they are all matching with a colour scene in smart clothing with highheals well in ireland hats, scarfs and jackets are seen of which though are all different colours to reflect the fun, not caring lifestyle of stereotypical Ireland of which is backed up by the flashback in the trailer of how the couple meet and the clothing she has on then as a girl in Ireland lost. It shows shots of the couple back in the flat together with the irish buy having a rough beard and long hair showing the rugged look with the girl all in makeup and hair nice. The man is wearing his boxers with briefs on and the girl is in her bra shwing the sexy mise en scene used to represent their connection as humans. In all the mise en scene reflects the differences from New York to Ireland and the affects a love one being lost has on someone and how when they move on their is hope presented through the use of mise en scene in this trailer.
Sound:
At the start of the trailer when the couple are together happy, fast pace, guitar based non digetic music can be haerd which portrays a happy tone straight away to the audience. This is brought to a holt when the first slide noting the death of the man of which then slow music can be heard which again in non digetic as a voiceover is heard which too is non digetic. This is a change in tone which inflicts the audience and shocks them. However, after th next slide the music picks up again which starts of digetic in the scene and then goes non digetic as other scenes are shown with the same music on. this flips the atmosphere back to a happy and joyful tone like at the start of the trailer. A guitar can then be heard relating to the typical music instrument from Ireland which again starts digetic and goes non digetic into other slides with a voiceover the top of this which in non digetic over a couple of different shots. laughing sounds can be heard when on the boat in Ireland from the girls which is short and powerful digetic sound helps the audience see happiness in the sad story line and gain relates back to the differences between New York and Ireland the stereotypical thoughts of Ireland being a happy, soulful place to be of which is portrayed through the digetic laughter sounds in the movie trailer of p.s i love you through sound.
Camera:
At the start a landscape shot is used to show the location of the film of which is New York. It allows an insight for the audience to set the scene for them. An important feature that is evident in most trailers in order to catach the audiences attantion and awareness of their location. Their is a one and two shot used straight away to show the manin characters and them being a couple with a two shot of them coming together to kiss pasionatly. This goes into a close up shot of them kissing show the mans beard and the womans lipstick to plant a divide between the two genders. Their is a switch of camera shot to when they were younger and how they met of which is a close up of their younger faces to show the audience that they are younger and when they first met.
After the news from a slide shot of the mans death their is a over the sholider shot to shwo the mum comforting her daughter in her time of need. This staples the idea of comforting on that character and a motherly act. Then their is a close up an object of which is a recording device which has a tag saying "play me" which signals the main content and idea of the movie and is an important part of the storyline so therefore an important concept to use a close up on. The close up shot is also used to show the woman and how she is moving on from her husbands death with the help of him due to the close up camera shot showing her smiling. This brings relief and happiness to everyone in the movie trailer and to the audience and is a valid and accurate close up shot.
When the girls in the trailer go to Ireland a helicopter shot of the famous I rish landscape is shown with the open water and green valleys.
The two shot of the couple used before is used again but when shes with a new man. This repeat of the same shot shows how she feels the same with this new man as she did with her husband their before portraying to the audience that their is hope of her moving on and finding new love.
Then finally, at the end their is a pan of the woman back in New York running down and around on of the streets reflecting on the fast pace of New York lifestyle and giving the audience a reminder of her life before and a summary of the events leading up to the death of her husband.
Editing:
At the start editing has been used in the process of slow motion to show the passionate kiss at the start between the couples. This shows their real love and capturing the moment shot. This is followed by the man whispering "Im not going anywhere" which is echoed for purpose as though the words are being replayed in the womans and audiences and as this promise is broken due to his death that the audience does not find out till a transaction of slides with a black background and the words stating his death on screen displaying to the audience what has happened. This powerful way to show the audience a message through a simple transaction shot with words on screen of which could be a simple way we could get messgaes across in our trailer to are audiences.
In the trailer they use the shot reverse shot editing techneqie when she answers the door to the lepricorn as this shows both of the characters views and how they feel in that situation. This is also used when the woman meets a new man to show the same concept but portrays to the audience different thoughts used in each scene and different relationship had between each of the characters.
The poster contains the two main characters used in the film. They are both beautiful and state both masculinity with a rough look, male braclets and woman hood with lip stick and long hair keeping with stereotypes. The wedding ring is displayed to show the audience how the couple is married. Both of the characters are smiling and look happy and comfortable of which i have to take in to account when producing our posters. The title of the film"P.S I Love You" is written in handwritten style writing to show the concept of handwritten letters which links in with the storyline. The layout of the poster is taken up majoirty of the page with a large image which then has the title below it and the small print of the actors and small print of the film and dates. However, like other posters the main characters and famous characters are in larger print to add highlight to the poster and gain more attention to the poster.
