Trailer Scene Analysis

For this task, we were asked to plan a trailer for the made up romantic comedy The Crush, making sure it was not in chronological order or gave away too much detail about the film to the audience. This assisted me in planning my own film trailer as I would have put the scenes in order of events and probably caused my trailer to become boring and predictable. It also reminded me to asses microelements of my film, for example which shots and angles to use throughout every scene.

Synopsis:
A man falls in love with his beautiful next door neighbour, the catch being that she is married to his boss. The film follows his comical efforts to impress her.


Scene Order:
  1. Man is introduced
  2. Man meets female neighbour and is entranced by her
  3. Cuts to in the man's office, him being lectured by his boss, only to see a photo of said boss and attractive female neighbour on the desk
  4. Man is shown staring at female neighbour gardening
  5. Cuts to man watering his plants in an attempt to impress her, only to trip over his own watering hose
  6. A montage of scenes show the man trying to win over his female neighbour by bringing over flour while she happens to be baking, a paintbrush while she is doing art, a pack of nappies while she is babysitting
  7. In the last scene of the montage, she invites him inside
  8. Cut to in a bar, the man in a fight with his boss
  9. The female neighbour and he are at an office party flirting
  10. The trailer ends with a black screen and The Crush coming up in bold letters.
