Even from the trailer, it is obvious to see the mood that is being set. The theme of the film portrays an essence of soul and depth to it. The music helps create the ambience of the film by the slow tempo whilst allowing the audience to absorb the atmosphere of the location. The music also reflects the different cultures that are related to the location of where the movie was filmed.
Despite the fact that the movie is mainly about surfing, there are several instances where the filming is of other things that have been captured along the way. I think that these small parts are important in order to really set the scene and adds to the depth of the film. For example, in the trailer above, to start, a local fishing boat is captured in slow motion, along with later on in the film, a fast sequence of snails on a rock. Although both of these things are insignificant to surfing, it is still highly appropriate within the film due to its ambience created as a whole.
The way that the majority of the surfing is filmed, particularly at the beginning of the trailer, is brilliant. It is filmed with a high contrast in order to emphasize the stormy weather. Stormy weather gives the audience a slightly different take on surfing as most people visualize surfing only taking place in fair weather.
