Romantic Comedy Trailer Analysis Conclusion

After looking at some romantic comedy trailers I have discovered the following conventions that I want to include in my trailer to make it authentic:

• The music is usually uptempo and happy
• The trailer will include comic elements possible in the form of jokes or the behaviour of the protagonists 
• The two protagonists will often be shown at separate sides of the frame or even in separate shots at the beginning of the trailer and then gradually get closer together as the trailer progresses
• There is often a shot showing advice being given from friends 
• Impact sounds or a change in music could be used to highlight the obstacle 
• It is often hinted that the characters eventually overcome to the obstacle  
• Romantic gestures may be shown 
• The names of the main actors are shown at the end of the trailer often in a pastel or soft colour to reflect the genre
• Often the two characters are shown to be not suited for each other but then towards the end of the trailer the audience are led to believe otherwise
