Tom Ford is an artistic man. He is a fashion designer as well as a director; therefore the film was pitched to a production company that cares more about the art than the profit. The film was put into production because it was based on a well-known novel; it has the genre of ‘drama’ which is always popular with the public. It is set in the 60’s in America with famous actors such a Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Nicholas Holt which is a definite selling point.  


The trailer starts off a being quite fast, there is no music just the sound of a ticking clock. The narrative of the story is not clear from watching the trailer. The trailer shows clips of a university and an expensive looking house or flat. There are titles throughout the trailer showing magazine and newspaper quotes, finishing with the main actors names.
