You saw the latest New Moon Trailer at the Video Music Awards, and now they take the opportunity to go over it with a fine-tooth comb scene by scene. Read the breakdown below – there are spoilers, so beware!

You may remember an article we ran after the last “New Moon” trailer that listed all the various characters and subplots from Stephenie Meyer’s novel that were being omitted from the film’s advance advertising, seemingly replaced by extra shots of Taylor Lautner’s six-pack. Well, rejoice, “Twilight” fans, because another “New Moon” trailer was just unveiled during the MTV Video Music Awards, and it brings both the sexiness and the substance.

As always, we honor such occasions with our patented shot-by-shot analysis. Read on for the details you may have missed among all that awesomeness.

0:00 – 0:02: We see the Volturi chambers in Volterra, Italy, as Jane (Dakota Fanning) opens the door.

0:02 – 0:04: Aro (Michael Sheen) and his fellow vamps look to be passing judgment on some ill-fated, long-haired individual. Note that this appears to be a different scene than the one Jane just walked in on. “The Voturi are the closest thing my world has to royalty,” we can hear Edward say. “They enforce the law.”

0:04 – 0:05: Our first good glimpse at Dakota Fanning as Jane. With those contacts in and the wicked smile beneath them, she sure is a long way from “Dreamer.”

0:06 – 0:08: “Vampires have laws?” Bella asks Edward.

0:09: Now we get to see the verdict. As the long-haired man opens his mouth in fright, Aro approaches and snaps his neck. Is it just me, or does Sheen look a bit more like Count Dracula than we might expect from the “Twilight” franchise?

0:11 – 0:15: We see Bella’s familiar truck pulling up in front of her house. “You’re a human who knows entirely too much about us,” explains a concerned-looking Alice. “They could kill us all.”

0:16: The Summit Entertainment logo.

0:17 – 0:18: The beautiful aerial shot we’ve seen a few times now.

0:19 – 0:20: “You just don’t belong in my world, Bella,” Edward tells her when they’re in the woods, moments before he leaves her.

0:20 – 0:21: “I belong with you,” she replies.

0:22 – 0:27: “This is the last time you’ll ever see me,” Edward tells his soon-to-be-heartbroken girl. “Please just promise me you won’t do anything reckless.” Oh, RPattz, if only you knew. (more)
