Submarine - Trailer Analysis

The film Submarine is a British drama/comedy about a boy who has two goals before he turns 16, to have lose his virginity and keep his parents together. The film is played out as if he is talking to you about his live and that he is commentating over parts of it. The film is written and directed by the popular actor Richard Ayoade, he has played in many TV shows such as the IT Crowd. Oliver Tate, the main character is played by the talented Craig Roberts and Yasmin Page as Jordana Bevan. In my opinion, the trailer to this film shows off to much of the film which could ruin it for some people but other than that, the trailer was very interesting and include some interesting parts of the film.

This part of the trailer sums up pretty much was the film is about, love between these two and also love between the his parents. This shot is interesting as it not a typical love scene where as the setting in this one is quite dull as its under a train track which shows the originality that this film brings along with its indie style. The shot is also unusual as it includes the lens flare from the camera which again fits in with the originality of the shots and themes used from the film. 

In this particular such it gives the idea that the film is being told by himself as a story of his life.  It is done in a way that he is commentating the past events of his life as if he is showing/telling a film crew as he mentions in the film. The idea that he is narrating his life gives the film more depth and makes the story telling more interesting rather than just the story being played out.

The final shot focuses on showing the true Britishness of the film with Oliver standing on the sandy coast, with a cloudy sky and the dull colours around him. The shot also links in with the indie theme as it uses the unique and more original colours and themes to create quite an unusual yet fascinating film and story.

The soundtrack to this film is the best part of the film as it is such an interesting and brilliant collection of songs written and produced by Alex Turner, the lead man in the popular British band Arctic Monkeys. The songs fit perfectly with the moods and themes produced by the film and give the film so much more brilliance towards the way its filmed and edited. The soundtrack was perfectly chosen as the film has gained extra popularity from Alex Turner which also created a brilliant album towards.
