Candy (2006) - is a romance film that surrounds heroin addiction. It has several features that I am interested in for my coursework.  The serenity that is present in the trailer reflects the positive traits that drugs have on relationships, and it also shows the downfall of romance when afflicted by drugs. In the trailer it attempts to promote the film by saying it is based on a very successful book by Luke Davies, and that it is from the acclaimed director Niel Armfield - and also that it had been a highlighted film at the berlin film festival. It then plays a series of shots varying from close ups of the characters when they are showing romantic shots, underwater shots, mid range shots, birds eye view shots (of the ride they go on), and other shots that reflect the positive aspects of drugs. at 1.05 the film changes and shows the downfall of drugs on candys family and on the relationship of the two main characters. After the short montage of negative aspects, the trailer then continues and shows a mix of scenes until it ends.
The music in the trailer is used to reflect the peace and tranquility that comes with people who take drugs early on - however the music then feels quite nauseous when you see the downward spiral the characters go down in the film.

The poster of the film only really reflects the postive aspects of the relationship in the film. It shows the two characters embracing and showing commitment - however the "more is never enough" gives a hint towards what might become of the relationship. The characters look obsessed with each other and this itself might be another form of addiction the film will portray.

There are no front covers to magazines that are advertising the film so instead i will look at a film that is similar in genre that has been used on a front cover. I decided to analyse the trainspotting magazine. The film Trainspotting is 11 years old so the magazine isn't that relevant to today's front cover style. The design standards for today have changed dramatically.
