Romantic Comedy Trailer Analysis 2

Below is the trailer for the film "Friends With Kids":




  • The trailer begins with uptempo music 
  • Unlike the trailer for Playing It Cool the two main characters are actually close together in the shots to show that they are friends 
  • However it is made clear that they are not romantically involved in the beginning
  • Comic elements are involved in the trailer
  • At first the arrangement made by the two characters works perfectly and this is actually what is shown to be one of the obstacle later on as it is only supposed to be an 'arrangement'
  • In addition both the male and female protagonist start seeing other people which is again another obstacle preventing them from seeing they are right for each other
  • Some jealousy starts to become apparent when seeing the other with another person
  • While characters are seeing other people they tend to be shown on separate sides of the screen or even in separate shots to show that they are drifting apart because of the obstacles
  • Scenes showing advice being given from their friends
  • Towards the end of the trailer the characters are shown closer together implying that they do eventually get together 
  • Names of actors are shown at the end of the trailer in white and a pastel yellow
