Romantic Drama Code and Conventions создатель Mind Map: Romantic Drama Code and Conventions

1. Love interests are normally seen as straight, for example The Vow, Dear John and Titanic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcL24s-S6ns this trailer for The Vow which shows who the love. Channing Tatums character and Rachel McAdams characters Paige and Leo. There are codes and conventions which are symbolic in trailers, for example: Dear John’s trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0fq5dd0C60 , when John and Savannahs love is portrayed at the very start, there’s simple, gentle colours used, such as soft pinks, baby blues and the nudity of skin can portray the love throughout the film which shows their purity and their simplicity. Another convention used is the technical areas such as the camera work. There normally loads of cuts and fades in and out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3G3fILPQAU The The Notebook trailer, which uses lots of fades. This shows that the use of fades represents the love is like heaven which is shown in the film. Without the quick cuts, its more smoother which romance films should be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcL24s-S6ns uses cuts as camera work. This is used to show the element of drama.

3. Also a major factor in trailers is the whole narrative. There is normally a narrative structure used I watched the trailer for the Vow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcL24s-S6ns and the trailer for The Lucky One http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=58oZRymxvgk
