Submarine Trailer

Submarine was released in 2010 and stars Craig Roberts as Oliver Tate, a 15 year old boy growing up in 1986 England. The trailer sells the story of his love life with a girl called Jordana Bevan, played by Yasmin Paige. You see how they get together and she breaks his “tiny heart”, this appeals to the teenage audience who can possibly empathise with him. They do this by using specific clips of them first just looking at each other or walking past each other, then they’re together and finally when they have split up or something has happened, all accompanied by Oliver narrating his own life. 

The use of British scenery is also appealing to audiences abroad; they are very much selling the fact that this is a British teen comedy/drama/romance. The uses of camera shots and editing is all very artistic, it sells the fact that this film will have lots of quirky looks to it while also being interesting and different to watch. 

The soundtrack for Submarine, and the trailer, is done by Alex Turner. If you didn't know he is the lead singer of Arctic Monkeys, a very famous British band. Fans may want to watch the film simply to see what new music he has created, like stuck on the puzzle and hiding tonight; songs not released but are in the film. Just from the trailer you can tell it is a feel good film that can be watched by the whole family, and it is obvious that when making the trailer this was emphasised as much as possible to get a larger audience to watch.
