Analysis of "Kuch To Hua Hai"..

Firstly, Kuch To Hua Hai is a bollywood trailer with the genre of Romance. It uses all the conventions which a typical bollywood film would include, and have used this in their trailer to add a realistic and significant effect on the audience.

The costumes they have used are typical and obvious indian clothing [ sari's and suits ] and they are all of bright colours to enhance the 'love' in this story. It also brightens up the trailer, encouraging it to look as if it is a happy life and there are no problems, which is how love stories usually begin. The clothing may also be seen as quite casual and therfore perhaps makes it easier for the targeted audience to relate to, as this is probably what they would wear too. However, the light use of colours within their costumes may also connote purity and innocence, which is usually the key feature of one of the characters.

The brighness of colours also links onto the lighting used for this trailer. Again, it's very high key, always set in light environments. This would make the whole scene seem enjoyable to watch as the high key lighting makes it seem so much more pleasant, which is one of the factors making the trailer engaging and attractive.

The actors in this trailer are our age [16/17] which hightens the relatability towards the audience, as many people of our age experience the emotions portrayed in the trailer. I also find that the girls in the trailer show alot more emotions than the boy, as they show tears, happiness, whereas the boy shows mainly only happiness. Again, the female part of the audience will relate to this greatly as we're more likely to experience those emotions at our age. There are many facial expressions which are illustrated during the trailer which then links onto the camera shots as many of them are close ups when referring to facial expressions. The main ,parts of the trailer where the close-up's illustrate facial expressions are at 0:33, 0:38, 1:06 and 1:37 of the trailer. In these clips, the themes of friendship, passion, secrecy, pain, and unhappiness are displayed, and this is hugely noticable to the audience.

The make-up on the 2 girls especially is very natural connoting the youth and the inncoent side of the characters. Again, very relateable to the audience.

The setting of the trailer is mainly in the park, which is first introduced at 0:18, however other scenes of the trailer are set outside classrooms, in corridors etc, first shown at 0:33. These are typical settings of a love story, especially for the age of the actors, and again many viewers will be able to relate to this. Also the setting sets the scene as its usually around decorative props such as flowers, making it even more romantic. This is all enhanced in the mise-en-scene

The editing of this trailer mainly uses cut, which adds sophistication to the trailer. It also zooms in quite alot especially when focusing on certain facial expression as mentioned before. At one particular moment, the camera even pans across the scene [1:01]. This links onto the pace of the trailer. The pace is medium, as it is not too fast, yet not too slow. The cut of the clips also helps it to flow better, as it is not too fussy, so the audience are more likely to watch the whole thing with being discouraged.

The sound in Kuch To Hua Hai, is non-diagetic, as there is no dialogue whatsoever, but there is a soundtrack, again which keeps it quite simple, to the point, and not fussy.
