A popular style of trailers takes on an epic form in the sense that everything is over the top and over sensualised. Here we see the fairy tale wedding, it's very strong in iconography and posses many traditional features which can relate to a majority of people. The elaborate cake with the bride and groom displayed ontop, the silver service and the chapaign.
The gossip factor is elevated as a wedding celebration/ceremony is a huge occurence and maybe people will question who will arrive, what gifts they will bring, who may not arrive and as a soap viewer you will begin suspecting what could possibly happen that can destroy the day.
The scene is juxtaposed with the fairy tale idea and the realism of the situation. This can hold some ironic and satirical elements for example: the bouquet of flowers traditional decorating a 'classy' car, yet you zoom out to see an old ford escort being spray painted "just married!". How classy?
The phrase "good luck" is over emphasised in the scene which can be interpreted as quite sarcastic given the circumstances for example; the bride having to have a drink in the morning and the groom not looking to enthralled. This works as an enigmatic opening as audiences question what could possibly go wrong.
The music is enthusiastic and the shots are rather fast paced. I think this is something we would have to consider if we're going to represent a large storyline. Everything in this trailer is clearly displayed through the use of strong iconic props that are easily understood by viewers. I would also like to include satirical elements so it's more entertaining rather than gritty realism. The idea of juxtaposing positives with negatives works very well as it can highlight the dramatics, which entertain, and the realism, which draws viewers in.
