Analysis - The Vow (trailer)

The trailer starts at a wedding where we see a couple saying their vows surrounded by the friends, this is a romantic moment shown as the first scene in the trailer to show what kind of film it is. Then someone shouts that security are here and we see they are in a art museum and have to run from them just as they finish their vows, this show they are fun and carefree. making the characters more appealing and relatable to a younger audience, then we see them kiss under a arch outside the museum while she is holding flowers in her wedding dress, this is another classic "postcard" image of a happy young couple. There is a male voice over saying iconic romcom film philosophical and pseudo intellectual quotes about life. He does a romantic gesture that is comically misunderstood, but when explained becomes another romantic moment.
The voice over then says stuff about imagining if you could no longer remember the one you love; when suddenly they get hit by a truck! The truck was put in slow motion and a loud horn put over the top to represent the disruption of equilibrium. We then see the woman in a hospital and her husband standing over her in a pair of scrubs, the woman says she does not know who this man is other than her doctor!!! At this point the music start and we her a sorrowful woman's voice singing to a dramatic beat.
We also see that the film will be released on valentines day, this is perfect for the genre as Valentines day is considered the most romantic day of the year.
We see the woman looking through photos of her life and despairing at how she doesn't know who her this man is or who she is!! This is the recognition of the disruption. The man then says he will make her fall in love him again, this is a romantic goal designed to make the audience swoon. This shows the premise if the film and attempt to repair the disruption and return to the equilibrium. We see actors appearance to a clip of just them on screen so you can associate the possibly less known name with the well known face of the actor, and a white fade is used to calmly transition to next clip with a little sub line telling the audience that the actor has been in notebook/dear john which are other romantic classics of the same style. We then see a series of clip showing more depressing and/or romantic moments between the couple and hear words of the same theme. Then the leading man decides to resolve the problems presented and VOWS to keep them together no matter what. We see him fighting for her both physically and emotionally through good and bad time (represented by the weather). Then the title emerges from a bright clearing of white light as is it was a perfect memory that has re-emerged from the viewers subconscious. This title appearance queue up perfectly with the final note soft the romantic soft music that has been a continuous for the last half of the trailer and clearly signifies the end and a time to appreciate the beauty and romance of the clip and the words spoken; and forget any flaws or how overplayed the genre is and allow the audience to accept it as simply a lovely romance with a happy and wondrous end. :D
