In order to achieve equilibrium, I used a fairly upbeat, cheery score, in order to create a pleasant, happy tone. I selected quite a slow pace, in order to have a relaxed, laid-back mode of address. I used shot/reverse-shot in order to follow conventions, as well as a master shot and two shot to show variation. I decided to start the trailer with this tone as it will create a harsh contrast between the post-disequilibrium section and also allows the audience to get to know the characters in a more normal environment, therefore conveying the diegesis of the characters.
I then had a section with no music at all, to create a serious, dramatic tone. This point of the trailer is the disequilibrium in Todorov's narrative theory of equilibrium. This contrasts with the previous relaxed tone and therefore creates a climax and builds up tension.
