This trailer caught my eye because I like the way the light hearted tone is sustained throughout. The majority of the trailer focuses on the comical moments which shows the audience that the film is quite upbeat. Each time there was something particularly amusing within the dialogue, the sound was interrupted. This happened quite frequently (nine times) which suggests that the film is more comedy oriented than drama. The dramatic elements only came in towards the end of the sequence, taking up thirty seconds of the whole trailer, and even then the sound was interrupted suddenly after, quickly reverting back to the comedy. If we decided that we wanted to achieve a more light hearted feel to our own trailer, then I think this structure of comedy outweighing drama could be an idea to keep in mind. I definitely think that dropping the music works well when you want to mark a funny moment but I don't think we'll include it as many times as this trailer has!
