The trailer begins with establishing shots of the extremely clean house and close-ups of medicine. This shows the audience the equilibrium of severe illness as she is not allowed outside and has to be protected in her house. The voice-over narrative of the girl at the beginning gives the audience a snippet of her life and allows them to try and empathise with her. The more upbeat music contradicts the sadness of the trailer at the beginning.
The disruption is shown to be when the new neighbours arrive and he takes an interest in the girl. The use of the texts across the screen relates to a younger audience with the use of abbreviated language. The music changes and gets more hopeful and softer when he comes to the house. The fade to blacks throughout the trailer hints at the drama genre of the film and creates a more tense trailer. At the beginning it is relatively slow paced and the close-up cross cuts between the two show the audience their growing relationship.
The recognition phase begins when the nurse is fired and the girl starts to realise that she wants to be outside. The music here, and especially when she runs away, gets more upbeat, suggesting a more exciting plot for the audience to witness. From this point, the trailer gets more fast paced as they go and visit places. The shot reverse shot between the girl and the boy suggests their care for each other.
The repair phase begins when she starts to get sick. The use of the phrase "I am willing to sacrifice everything" shows her love and dedication to the boy. This makes the audience feel more emotional and hints at the romantic drama genre of the film. The audience aren't shown much about when she gets sick which makes them wonder if she makes a recovery and wha happens between her and the boy. These questions entice the audience and makes them want to find out what happens. The fact that this is an adaptation from a book will also encourage an already captive audience to see the film.
