Official Trailer: 500 Days of Summer




The opening scene is a typical 'Falling in Love' the sound of the harp playing in the background as he looks at the girl, this instantly shows that he has fallen for her, as it first shows a shot of her, then the camera jump-cuts to him and slowly zooms in. I feel the next scene where they are talking about their childhood gives a scope on what they were like, when the girl says something unexpected and the music instantly stops at that point, i feel the use of the music stopping at that exact point gives the impression that you subconsciously stop as well and think twice about what she had just said. I would like to use that idea within the trailer as i feel it can create tension or laughter, as the stopping of the music gives time for the audience to figure out the meaning of the actors/actress sentence. The slow gradual built of the music progressing and becoming louder suggests that we see the progression of their relationship and how it develops.
