My Sisters Keeper: (Drama Genre)

My Sisters Keeper:

(Drama Genre)

This Trailer fits all the stereotypes for a drama genre, this is because it appears that the little girl in the film has cancer. This automatically makes the audience aware that the film is going to pull on some heart strings and probably end badly. The trailer starts with a very weak quality picture, this suggests it is a home video and we are shown a very happy family who are so excited to be on holiday. A close up is shown of a baby which suggests that its the babies first holiday with her family. Lots of laughing in close up shots is happening which suggests it isn't going to last as it is a drama. This will encourage the audience to go and see the film as they will be interested to find out the ending. 

"Most babies are accidents... not me" this is the opening sentence to the trailer, it could mean two things, either she was planned by her parents or they got special treatment to have a child. This already creates a drama because why would a young girl know whether she was an accident or not? This is also non diegetic sound over the video of them on holiday and they are young so it could confuse the audience. "Born to save my sisters life." this suggests that her sister is not well and that her mum and dad do not have good enough genes meaning they cannot have another baby. It also suggests that her sister is really ill and she needs to save her life. She is very young which could surprise the audience because it could go wrong and both of their daughters could be seriously ill and may not make it through the operation. 

In the background of the trailer we are shown the family laughing and being generally happy,it is suggested that this is not going to last for long and the daughter does look very ill. she has no hair which automatically suggests she has cancer. Some members of the audience might be able to relate to this and understand how the different characters in the film would be feeling. It also suggests that the characters are putting on a front to try and be brave when in reality they wish that their lives were not like this. We are then shown in the trailer sadness and how difficult it is on the family and having to live on eggshells whether she is going to be ok one day or not the next day. 

There is then a mishap in the film and we are introduced to a horrid side of the sister who was created to save her sisters life and she sues her parents as she doesn't want to give up her body. This links to the drama genre as everything was planned and then the daughter ruined it and now they cannot live their lives happy. The non-diegtic sound is of the dad talking over the trailer with slow music in the background and he is expressing his feeling. This suggests that he is really upset about what has happened and he doesn't know what he can do to try to change it. 

"I don't mind that the disease is killing me but it is killing my family too" this quote will stick in the audiences head as they are realising that a teenager is accepting the fact she is going to die but she is worried about her family and she does not want to hurt them. The girl who is ill is also wearing light blue, suggesting she is weak and she is ready to go to sleep and rest. The colour also makes her look a lot worse because it makes her skin look very washed out and pale. The girl meets a boy whilst she is in hospital, this could suggest she has fallen in love and this will encourage her to fight for her life. 

At the end of the trailer we are shown the girl well and all dressed up this will also encourage the audience to go and see the film as it suggests she gets better and that her sister helped her. But was it for the right reasons? this could be a question going through the audiences head as they will be worried about the young girl who didn't want to go through with it. The non-diegetic sound also becomes more upbeat and happy suggesting that something good has happened and it has the same feeling as it did at the beginning of the trailer - a happy family.
