Ms Wigley - cover work . (updated version) :)

The kick trailer comprises of a variety of different shot types which are placed together to create a 'thriller' effect . In the beginning of the trailer , we see a close up shot of the girl with a photo of a guy in her hand this symbolises her passion and obsession with him . As we progress through the trailer , shots such as the footballer with his hand on the car , with his hand moving incredibly slowly over the roof symbolises his drive for something important. There is a close up shot of the blonde teenager spying into a small hole to get a view of her 'lover' ,or perhaps she is peering into the future of her boyfriend . 

The genre is a romantic thriller because the editing is quite slow , the overall trailer is quite mysterious and haunting , again we do not know the reason behind the girls obsession with the footballer , we could say that she is bisexual because her friend kisses her passionately and dances with her as if they were going out . The car scene with both girls and the guy inside , is romantic because we see the blond girl's hand entwined with the guy's hands a moment of jealousy from the blond girls friend , as her eyes peer down towards the hands . Confusion is cleverly created by the ways the scenes are placed in a non linear fashion, however the trailer does follow Todorovs theory because the beginning of the trailer starts with an equilibrium - the girls extreme close up view of her visage with her holding the photo of the footballer .Then followed by a disequilibrium - the blond girl shoots somebody within the scene ....her hands are shaking emphasising her shock of what she has just done - murder someone , but we do not know who she has actually murdered .. it could be the footballer or it could be her friend ( girl with black hair).Then the equilibrium is the end of the trailer when the repetition of ' we love you Liverpool , we do ' with just sound rather than  moving image . 
The trailer itself is very powerful as it comprises of different narrative techniques which engage the audience from the very beginning of the trailer right through to the end . A shot which particularly uses a beautiful environment setting , is the sun setting down with the two girls at the top of the hill , the director obviously decided to use an extreme long shot to emphasise the importance of friendship , and how easily friendships can be destroyed .


The sound type comprises of both diagetic and non diagetic forms , the non diagetic forms in the kicks advert is the romantic music that is played at certain intervals within the trailer such as the scene where the two ladies are standing together on the hill. The diagetic sound is the dialogue of each character , each dialogue within the trailer tells us more about the characters personality ..... the blond girl for example shouts stop and uses a gun to emphasise how angry and jealous she is . 
We hear the blond girl whispering ' we love you Liverpool ... we do ' suggesting that she is really not a normal person , she is a person with an obsession towards the Liverpool club .
