  Genre Research Femininecharacters Romance trailers have characters that are typical stereotypes of male and females. In our trailer, the female is girly, well educated and has a managerial position in her workplace. She shows her affection towards her partner throughout the trailer and is emotional during the conflicts of the relationship. The male character is typically masculine and is a heart throb towards our young female audience which makes the audience invest in the characters. These characters are typical of the leading male and female roles in a romance film and therefore we have kept our characters conventional.

  Storyline The storyline is based on the idea that the couple get separated through the female character being offered a better job in another country. This breaks up the relationship and the film is based on what happens while the two are separated from one another. The storyline challenges stereotypes of genre as the female character takes the role of following her career and being the more career driven character. But the female character still plays the role of a stereotypical emotional girlfriend while the male character entertains himself trying to fit back in with his friends and is not as successful.

  Audience of ourfilm The audience of our film is based on a young female fan base. This is due to the age of the leading characters and they can relate to the storyline as well as investing easily in the characters we use. A young female audience will be interested in our film because the female character is a stereotypical young female character who shares the same interests as a young female audience which therefore a young female audience will be able to relate to. It is flexible towards both genders, although females will find it more appealing. There is a range of different male characters in the trailer and therefore the film can appeal to both genders.

  Using conventions Throughoutour trailer, we have used different conventions that romantic movie trailers use, n order to make the trailer emotional and effective for the genre. Between each scene in our trailer, we have used a soft transition effect, that dissolves/ fades into the next scene. This is conventional for genre because it is a gentle fade that connotes femininity and it also adds to the emotional non diegetic music. We have also used non-diegetic emotional music to reinforce the romance and drama that is involved in the trailer. The music is over the top of the video and adds tension, romance and emotion which makes the trailer far more effective and interesting for the audience. During our trailer, we have used a voice over from time to time. The voice over is the lead female role in the film and this adds an insight to the plot of the film, without giving too much away which attracts the audience and makes them interested in the outcome of the film. Additionally, we have added some scenes in with diegetic sound such as dialogue, which adds interest and allows the audience to start to invest in the characters before seeing the film, which will potentially make them want to see the film.
