Theatrical 5 - 'Paper Towns'

Trailer:


Analysis

This film is clearly a coming of age genre, shown through mainly the age of the protagonists. it also opens with a change of age, beginning as two children to two teenagers. The narrative explores the boy finding himself and discovering love, key features of a coming of age story. The music is pop style and reintroduces when the relationship between the boy and girl develop through the night. The film explores the themes of friendship, relationships and discovery. The trailer is fairly chronological, at the beginning, starting with the night they terrorise the town, but after Margot goes missing, there is a montage of the friendship and mystery they uncover. The lighting is bright with low contrast with undertones of blue. This conveys the sense of discovery and the brighter future. This also highlights the setting of 'paper towns' as a suburban teen drama.

As you’re using copyright free music, keep trawling and see if there’s anything else there.  From Miss Page, also consider whether you have a colour palette and how you can emphasise this. Especially if it is an art related trailer!
