In the film all of the couples are from different cultures background and therefore different mise en scene is portrayed for each couple. Some of the couples are dressed smartly in suites and dresses with bottles of wines, nice jewellery and watches. However, some of the couples are dressed more casually and are smoking with sun glasses in a lake.
The mise en scene all changes when the season changes in the trailer to chirstmas. All of the characters from all the different cultures and backgrounds are all in jackets, hats and scarfs. There is snow falling in some scenes bringing all of the different situations and stories together through the season change. Christmas theme is the main theme as well as love throughout the trailer. Christmas is a time of giving and loving one another and is a perfect time to set a love romance. Therefore, this theme is shown through mise en scene by the items and object that represent christmas. Santa Claus hats are used and Mistletoe to show the christmas theme as well as christmas trees and lights around houses. They use an ice ring for the setting of a scene which shows the christmas vibe again.
Editing:
Not much editing is used in the the film trailer as they are trying to create a natural romance. They use the zoom in affect to zoom in on a woman from the couple laughing and joking with another man which is used straight away which gives the audience the idea that the trailer is about romance and happiness. They use shot reverse shot to show conversations happening between the couoples all of which are happy and upbeat conversations or deep talks about love one another.
Sound:
In the trailer non digetic music can be heard straight away of which is upbeat, fast pace music which straight away reflects the mood of the trailer for the audience. There is then a voiceover which is too non digetic and is played over the clips. The voiceover allocates the main storyline building up to the trailer and what the content of the film stating important facts leading up too it. the sound of bells jingerling is the first sound of the season and straight away people get what season its going into and signals the christmas period which is non digetic. A new song jumps straight into which again is upbeat, fast paced and reflects the genral mood of the trailer. Dogectic cheers break through the song and voiceover which again is a typical party sound that is heard during christmas time.
Camera:
At the start of the trailer there is a pan used showing the two couples both smiling and portray a life of happiness through the camera shot. Another couple are again happy and this is shown through another camera angle of two shot which uses both the couples in the shot to shwo how happy they both are with one another. Close up shot is used to show a woman who looks like a spy peering around a corner in spy costumes and a close up portrays to the audience that the women is up to no good.
There is a landscape shot of the city and the christmas tree of which the city is presented in a christmas atmosphere. This landscape shot included all of the cities main features collabrating them into one shot to gain an overall christmas city vibe. After this a long shot of the ice ring from a high angle is shown which again keeps with the christmas romance theme.
Finally, at the end a three shot is used at the back of the cra with a couple and a boy in the middle. This back of the car three shot is a good shot to use to show the situation quickly and affectiviley.
The poster keeps with the film trailer theme of christmas through the idea of wrapping a present up. There is christmas trees and lights in the background of the images to help portray to the audience the theme of love through christmas. The layout of the poster is split into 8 main characters which are used two draw the audience who no each actor from other films as they are all well known which will lead to the success of the film. A red and black colour scheme is kept throughout the writing with the title of the film in the centre at the bottom of the page with the small print belwo in the same colour scheme. The colour red used is the colour of love and passion and is contrasting the4 black and works well as a genral colour scheme which reads well.
The layout of the magazine is conventional with the idea the masthead is at the top and reads left to right. It goes write across the top of the page of the magazine. The image however, does not go across the the masthead which is a conventional trate of magazines. The image contains all of the main actors which is also used int he poster which must be a important factor used by the film as a promotional factor to help draw their audience through the popular actors and actresses used in the production of the film. The magazibne front cover consists of lots of different style and sizes of fronts yet the magazine keep to the black and white colour scheme seen in the poster and film trauiler with elements of white font as well. This is a conventionjal concept for film magazines and magazines in general which i feel we are forced to do in order to make are magazine conventional. The title of the film is splashed acros the bottom left of the page in large, bold font so everyone knows what film is being advertised in the magazine. They have all the trate magazibne facts across the bottom of the page including when the magazine is published and what the main content of the magazine includes. In this magazine a free copy of the DVD is given away in each copy of which this is stated on the front cover to draw more customers of which the callout used on the magazine front cover consists of the colour scheme layout.
