Textual analysis Film




at 0.08 minutes there is a piano note played, this is an example of non diegetic sound within the trailer. it is non diegetic because we have not seen a piano and it hasn't been implied.

at 0.17 seconds there is speaking by a woman, this woman sounds quite elderly so although there is a person seen onscreen we can tell they aren't saying it therefore it is non diegetic. This could have connotation to a caring motherly figure.

at 0.22 there is speaking by a younger woman, and though you can see a younger woman on screen and it may be her voice but she is not speaking and it is not implied that she is speaking. This could have connotations to a new journey as she is young.

The scene at 32 seconds shows a dark, cool toned, servants quarters where they are eating breakfast, they are all wearing some kind of butler/maid wear which shows they are servants within this house.  When we see the upstairs of the house it is more decorated and warm toned than the downstairs where the servants are. 
There is also a divide between the servants themselves as there is a rift between those who need to look presentable and those who don't need to be presentable. This enlightens us to the bigger rift between the lower class and the higher class. 
The lower class people are eating bland and tasteless food while the higher class are eating exotic interesting foods which shows the divide on how much money each group of people can spend on themselves.
