Textual Analysis
This film seems to have equal interior and exterior shots and to be set in the USA. As the film seems to take place over a long period of time, there is no distinct season that it is set in, this could represent how long it will take for him to make her fall in love with him again and that love is everlasting. It seems to also be set in the present. The main themes include romance, tragedy and drama after the woman's car accident. The vows that they made on their wedding day seem to be of the greatest significance in the trailer, vows are something that are supposed to be eternal and this mans love for his wife is.
It seems to be about a man and woman's relationship and how it grows until she has a car accident which leaves her with memory loss, meaning she cannot remember her husband. He has to then embark on making her fall in love with him again. The main characters seem to be the married couple although minor characters such as doctors are present in the trailer. The use of high-key lighting shows that the film isn't aimed to scare and the music isn't scary but isn't completely cheery either, showing that the film contains an element of drama.
