Trailer Analysis: My Sisters Keeper

The trailer begins with equilibrium phase, which shows montage of clips of the female protagonist as a baby. This is accompanied by voiceover giving audience insight into the narrative. “I was engineered born to save my sisters life” this dialogue informs the audience her sister suffers from a terminal illness, which is reinforced due to the hospital setting, and the sisters faith remains in the hands of the female protagonists. This conforms to the genre drama as it consists of a real life situation, which audience can emphasise with.  Close up shots is used to introduce each member in the family, showing the film is aimed at mostly families as it involves a heart-warming storyline.  

Non-diegetic music changes to low base music to show the distribution phase in the narrative, where female protagonist decides to sue her parents for the rights to her body. The extended bass note of the background music creates tension building up to the climax phase in the narrative. 

Caption “based on the novel by Jodi picout” shows the audience it’s based on a successful book therefore reaches a larger audience e.g. fan of the original novel.
The font used for the captions is slightly blurred out giving a dreamy effect against the bright background. Additionally, gives the illusion of the light your supposable meant to experience upon death, suggesting characters life in the film is not guaranteed.  

The switch in the voiceover from the protagonist to the dad shows the recognition phase where he accepts the female protagonist decision. “ Some how the vary things that tore us apart bought us together. This suggests the movie consists of emotional ups and downs, which results in a stronger family bond, indicting a happy ending.

At the end of the trailer the audience are left with many enigmas?
Will she help her sister?
Who will win the court battle?
Will the parents stay together?

Will the sister get better?
