Analysis of a teaser trailer 2: Wild Child

I have chosen to analyse this trailer as it is one of my favourite films. Wild Child is a 2008 film which is American/ British/ French. It is a film for teenagers and contains romance, tragedy and drama. It is about a girl named Poppy Moore who lost her mother when she was younger. Her father gets fed up with her bad behaviour and sends her to a boarding school in England, where she begins to change and realise vital things in her life.

Camera Angles/Movement: close-ups, an establishing shot of the boarding school, long shots, an extreme long shot of Poppy and Freddy as they sit together.


Editing: Faster pace towards the end, date of release and institutional information are shown, the soundtrack fits in with emotionally with what is happening.


Sound: diagetic e.g. her friends screaming when she jups in the sea, dialogue, soundtrack, non- diagetic such as the extra clip at the end where Poppy is in the hairdressers.

Mise-En-Scene: The way Poppy's hair goes from being blonde to brunette- a change in character- it hints at the narrative and there is a contrast between the outfits worn when it is set in America to when it is set in England.
