Stranger is a melodrama staring an outsider, who is primarily a 'stranger' to everyone around her.
As soon as the trailer starts you're already soothed into the melonchoilic feel to the subject. Stranger used a series of cuts and fades throughout the trailer to show how the memories/experiences linger in the protagonists mind, and how hurtful these experiences are.
Showing the end at the beginning creates confusion and curiosity to the audience, which is both genius and effective as the audience feel to watch on because they want to know what has made the girl want to drown, and then to come back to the beginning using rewind connects the stroy together as a whole.
Having non-diagetic sounds set the mood for the main charcter, as it is both child like and shows pain as the voice has a soothing effect. This ultimately created sympathy for the main charcter, audiences may also realte to the subject and this may also refect society; an outsider being bullied by others. On the other hand, this portrayes the sterotypical verison of outsiders, some may feel the odd one out because they are simply ignored by others or enjoy there own company, but then again that wouldnt make a good movie - a story focussed on an ignored girl, and it not that affected by it.
Stranger is a girls struggle to fit in with society, it shows pain, loneliness and the idea of an everyday girl. This will defiantly be tugging on your heart strings, a beautiful inatke on today's issues that everyone can realte to.
