Romantic Comedy Trailers - 'Bridesmaids'
The second trailer I am going to analyse in terms of genre is:
Bridesmaids
- Universal production company - common for rom-coms
- Upbeat music
- High-key lighting
- Taglines are pink on an off-white background - common colours for rom-coms
- First line is about one of the characters getting engaged
- Excitement from main characters: screaming and flailing arms about (comedy)
- Crisis of not knowing what to do
- Drinking of alcohol in order to deal with stress
- Mention of other rom-coms
- Contrast of expensive house and rich antagonist, with poorer lead with a run down car
- Pauses for comedic effect
- Comedic stereotype - Melissa McCarthy's character's persona is based on her size
- Beautiful and elegant character trying to get in between the two best friends
- Group of friends, all with very different personalities which comedically work well together
- Chaotic scenes
- Slow-mo "formation" of the main characters for comedic purposes - one of them falls over
- Burps - common for comedies
