OUR DECISION

OUR FILM GENRE

Lucia and I have been discussing our trailer genre and we have come to our final decision and have selected ROMANCE to be our genre for the trailer. This genre consists on using passion, emotion and affectionate movements to show the process of the love growing between them and include the audiences expectations on romance and make it reality. For example, two people finding out they love each other. These features will help audiences recognise the genre and expect how the film will end.

In this genre, the two individuals usually face obstacles like family, physical illness, discrimination (…), which usually joins them further together and end with a happily ever after and the authentic "true love's kiss".

To include, this genre combines many subgenres which are the following: 

• historical romance - a romantic story with a period setting
• romantic dramas - a story that revolves around an obstacle which prevents true romance between two people. Music takes an important role in this type of film. An important example of this could be Titanic
• chick flick - these films are targeted to a female audience, which revolves around the romantic involvement of characters or a relationship, like Romeo & Juliet
• romantic comedies - a story with humorous plotlines centred on romantic ideas , usually verbal including low-key variety.
• romantic fantasies - stories which include fantasy with romanticism.
• romantic action - blends romance and action.
• romantic thriller - stories mixing romance with elements of thriller.
