Engima Questions in Trailers


In many trailers like, The Vow, Dear John and The Notebook have questions in the trailers. This allows the audience to be active whilst passive. These are part of the codes and conventions of a romance drama trailer. With questions like 'How do you look at the girl you love and tell yourself its time to walk away' 'Will true love survive' allows the audience the have some attachment to the characters. Also it allows the audiences to gain hints from the narrative. Lastly these engima questions allow the audience to start thinking about the storyline and the characters. As a matter of fact, a trailers role should be attracting audiences to watch the films.

In my trailer, I have come up with 4 enigma questions of my own to fit in my trailer.
'Do you believe in soul mates?'
'Would you sacrfice everything for the one you love?'
'Will true love survive?'
'Our Moments together will define us...'
All 4 have been alocated in my trailer which should impact the audience to have the feeling of wanting to know what happens in the film.
