Coming Home for Christmas

One of my favourite camera shots is when the two little sisters are making snow angles on the ground and the camera slowly starts to zoom in to the little girls. This is effective because it shows that the two girls are going to be the main characters, it also makes the audience feel like they have more power over them as they feel like they are higher than the two girls. This camera shot also makes the two girls look innocent. One of my favourite camera shot from the film Coming home for Christmas is when the couple is standing looking up at the waterfall. This is effective because the waterfall is peace full place. The waterfall is also a romantic place this shows the audience that they are in love.
There is a piano playing in the background, there is also a narrator speaking over the top. This is effective because it makes the audience listen to the words that's being said, it makes the think about their family and how what is being said links to their life. As one of the main is swinging on her childhood swing the music began to get faster this shows that the character is happy which makes the audience feel happy as well.
The pace of editing isn't that fast. This is effective because it gives the audience a chance to take in the scenery of the nature that the scene is set in. The slow paced editing is also effective because you get to see everyone in the film admire what is around them which makes the audience think if they have taken for granted what they have as they are trying to do everything that they can to make their parents marriage work.
The costumes in Coming Home for Christmas is very warm and up beat, this lets the audience know that the setting of the scene is cold. Towards the middle of the trailer you see a man wearing military cloths, this is effective because people from the military are very family orientated and care about those around them. This is effective because the film is about bring family together and people that have been in the military are very respectful and will do anything to keep a family together, this is effective because although they are using stereotypes of a military man/woman they are using the best stereotypes of a military man/woman.
From the trailer of Coming Home for Christmas we learn that the storyline is about trying to get a family back together again and even going to the extreme to having Christmas at their childhood house. In the progress one of the main characters find true love whilst trying to o back to where there parents was in love but will the two sisters plans work.
The titles are white Christmassy writing on a green background with old starts, this is effective because it shows the audience that it is a Christmas. The writing isn't about the actors its about the film about the brining together of the family. At the end of the trailer they have the title come up in Christmassy writing in yellow, the background is of the families hows where they are going to have the Christmas to bring their family together.
