Chpt 12 Media Illustration - Paths of Commitment

The first video clip that I used is the trailer for Cinderella. Cinderella follows follows the Rapid Escalation path that Wood mentions in that they meet one fateful night and pretty much everything is happily ever after from there.

The second video clip that I used is the trailer for the movie It's Kind of a Funny Story. The movie is a good example of the Medium-Length Courtship path in that in the movie, Craig goes to the hospital to seek help after contemplating suicide. During his stay at the hospital, he meets Noelle and they soon start seeing each other. As the movie goes on, they get to know each other better and their relationship grows stronger.

The reason that I used movie trailers is that they provide a nice and quick overview of the relationship from the start to the end.
