Tailer Analysis: Everything Everything

The trailer begins with the two film companies that produced and distributed the film i.e. Warners Bros and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. There’s a quick cut that transitions to a long shot of a modern house which establishes the location as the story is most likely to be based in this area. The medium shot presents the female character then her voice-over fades in with a non-diegetic piano sound that gives it a melancholy vibe. The narrative follows Todorov’s structure as there equilibrium in the beginning. There’s a series of quick introduction of the people that are close to her e.g. Mom and Nurse. The non-diegetic dialogue reveals that she has a weakness/disease that restricts her from going outside, this distrusts the story as it will create some future issues especially after the male interest is revealed. This follows the convention of a romance trailer so far as the audience can predict that the love interest will alter her choices.

There’s shot reverse shot of the two teens engaging in a text conversation, it’s highlighted by the pop up texts next to them. This is a creative way of displaying it to the audience as they can visually see. In the background, there’s a romantic music playing to imply that their relationship is going further as the male interest is initiating their conversation. The medium shot is in slow motion to enhance the romantic glances but the shot cuts to a close up of a stethoscope against her chest suggesting that her health isn’t at it's best which makes the audience realise the uncertainty of this love story. The dramatic voice-over and high angled medium shot emphasises the seriousness and suggests that there’s no improvements or cure.
