2. Film Trailer Brief: Romance Genre
Setting:
• From my research I have found out that a suitable setting for the
romance genre is a beach. This is usually used in a romance film.
• Also the setting could be in a house because it is showing the
relationship with two people, possibly living together.
• Going to social places such as parties or restaurants is a good
setting for this genre because it suits the characters’ lives.

3. Film Trailer Brief: Romance Genre
• Use of props:
• To create romance in the trailer, a typical prop would be a
candle for example when the couple have a meal.
• Also I feel that it is typical for the trailer to show conflict so possibly
a mobile phone could be used to give evidence of this conflict.
• Another prop which I have seen in many romance trailers are
love letters from each person in the relationship to indicate the
romance and love.

4. Film Trailer Brief: Romance Genre
• Costume:
• For the male characters it is typical for them to be well dressed
and I would probably have the male character in a suit and be
smartly dressed.
• For the female characters I would have them wearing a dress or
something girly to indicate the femininity. Also the female
characters in romance trailers I have seen have worn revealing
dresses which connotes the romance and love between the
characters.

5. Film Trailer Brief: Romance Genre
• Lighting:
• In my trailer I think I would prefer the lighting to be kept low key
because it connotes the romance and intimacy between characters.
• However high key lighting connotes the happiness in the relationship so
this lighting would be ideal as well.
• Makeup:
• The female characters would probably wear make up as it makes them
look more seductive which is stereotypical for the romance genre.
• From my research I have seen that the typical make up for this genre is
red lipstick as it shows intimacy and romance.

6. Film Trailer Brief: Romance Genre
• Camerawork:
• The camerawork would mostly consist of wide shots, close ups
and long shots.
• From my research I have found out that this is typical for the
romance trailer. I think that the close ups show the intimacy
between the characters which is a key element in the romance
genre.
• The wide shots and long shots can be used for any scene as it is
able to show all of the characters and the situation they are in.

7. Film Trailer Brief: Romance Genre
• Sound:
• The music used will indicate what kind of situation the characters
are in. When the trailer shows a conflict between the couple I
think that slow paced music would fit that scene. However if the
trailer shows happy moments, fast paced music will be used.
• Dialogue will be a key element of this trailer because it helps
show some of the storyline.
• Depending on what kind of conflict there is, sound effects would
probably be used due to the fact that most trailers use sound
effects.
