Romantic Comedy Trailer Conventions

The conventions of Romantic comedy trailers are very numerous. This includes the light hearted music as verious people smile at each other or the camera, the comic relief will wisecrack at one point. There is usually an awkward stare followed by another smile. A doubting mother will moan, and a father will say "go for it" in hushed tones. The rom-com trailer is home to all these and more cliches than you can shake an emotionally detached stick at. Even the intertitles will have these cliches, as they appear on screen with the actors leaning on their arms and smiling once again.
The trailer above shows many conventions that are ascociated with the genre including the awkward encounter with an attractive girl (in this case penelope cruz). There is a light hearted tune in the course of the trailer, with many other funny encounters, including a confrontation with a romantic/ trust issue, what is usually found in such a situation, only to be interrupted by "the funny guy". There is high key lighting to represent the lightened mood in a comedy such as this.
