3rd febuary

• the opening shot of the trailer shows the film institution who have produced and sponsored the film
• the following scene allows the two main characters to be introduced to the audience
• throughout the trailer there is a sequence of film clips and graphics where text is displayed on screen
• many of the film clips are short and mininmal, making it impossible to conclude what the film is about hence why it is called a teaser trailer
• the music which accompanies the film trailer changes three times throughout - beginning with calm relaxing music sounding like a woman singing and a flute being played. the music sounds happy and suggests hope. however it changes quickly, and the music conveys a sense of confusion
• as the music changes the shots become shorter and quicker - giving the audience little time to even process them, but drawing them in to see the film so that they can understand what has happened
• the music once again picks up, and a song by 'elo' can be heard
• as shots become slightly longer, the music changes and sounds somewhat opera or orchestral like, suggesting power. as this happens, although the shots are still rather short, complete sentences can be heard by the cast and the sense of confusion is lost
• at almost the end of the trailer, the same song previously played by 'elo' is heard again as small snippets of the film are shown, however no diagetic sound is heard
• as the names of the stars appear on screen, a male voiceover is introduced who says the casts names and introduces the name of the film - 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'
• finally, the last shot of the trailer allows the audience to see the production information
• this clip which is 2 minutes long contains 99 shots, with sections in between there there are fast flashes of several images. however, they flash so quick i was unable to count
