The opening of the trailer starts off with two young children, a boy and a girl, standing behind a globe where they seem to be pointing out places. A black screen appears with black writing across it, saying 'Rosie & Alex' suggesting that these are the names of the children that have been shown. The next scene is of the two grown up on a beach, shown through a long shot so that the audience can see that they are joined by friends. The blank screen appears again with 'are best friends' written underneath the previous wording, telling extra information to the audience. The music is quite happy and upbeat, conforming to the romance genre. The next scene is of Alex taking a picture of Rosie jumping in the air, suggesting that they have gone travelling together. The blank screen appears again with the wording below saying 'that's the problem'. This engages the audience as they will want to know why being friends is a problem. The scene after is a long shot showing a campfire with lots of people sat around it. Alex and Rosie are sat together, with Alex looking over Rosie's shoulder. Another male is shown through a long shot, which introduces him to the audience. He is the only character in this shot to be facing forward suggesting that he is important in the film. A close up of Rosie is then shown so that the audience are aware of her facial expressions. Diegetic sound is introduced by her talking about a school dance. An over the shoulder shot is then used to show Alex talking. The use of shot reverse shot is used to show the conversation between the characters. However when Rosie is talking about how 'hot he is' a close up of Alex is used to show his facial expressions to the audience. In this case he seems let down, suggesting that he likes her but she possibly doesn't like him in the same way. A fade to black is used to show the change in scene, where an establishing shot is then used to show a house, possibly one of the main characters. An over the shoulder, medium shot is used to show Alex getting ready for what seems like the school party as he is wearing a suit. The use of diegetic sound is used to show that he is talking to someone else, which soon after, Rosie is shown. The music then cuts out as Rosie talks about how she should wear a bra. The music cutting out is used so that the punch line of the joke can be heard by the audience, engaging them further as they will think that the film is a funny film. A close up is then used to show Alex's reaction to this, which he stumbles, suggesting that he finds her attractive and that he likes her.

Another shot slides in where Alex is sat in his car. He is sat smiling as he says an inappropriate word, suggesting that the film is aimed at a young adult audience as they would understand this typical language. A blank screen is then shown with "based on the best selling novel" which will engage the audience to go and watch the film and to also buy the book. Fast paced editing is used as Rosie is shown running down the hall way. She has a urgent tone to her voice as she is talking to Alex on the phone. This suggests that they are close enough to tell each other anything. A blank screen is used again with "from the author of P.S I love you" written across it, engaging the audience further as if they have read that book then they would possibly want to see this film.

A fade to black is then used to show along shot of Alex waving back to Rosie suggesting that he is going to miss her. The globe is then shown with Rosie in a medium shot so that the audience can see that she has a baby. She points to the globe to stop it spinning, which an extreme close up is used to show where she pointed to. In this case it happens to be where Alex is. The next scene is of a video message from Alex and this other girl who announce that they are getting married. An over the shoulder shot of Rosie is used to show her reaction to this where she says "congratulations". Her facial expression is though she is shocked and taken back.

In this voice over there are scenes of Alex and Rosie together mainly through close ups which suggests that they are close. The non diegetic sound suggests that they miss each other and that they love each other. The voice over ends with "love you" suggesting that Rosie loves him. She says this through a close up so that the audience is able to see her emotions. The title of the film "love, Rosie" is then shown in red, connoting love and passion.
