Mise-en-Scene of Romance
-A romance film usually involves wedding bells, love hearts and flowers. All of which symbolise love
-The characters will usually be separated by a disagreement or argument, however will re-unite and live happily ever after at the end of the film.
-Typical romance films are aimed at a female audience
Iconography of Romance
-The main colour scheme in a romance film, (used for clothing etc) is usually: white, (which symbolises weddings) red, (which symbolises love) and pink, (since romance is usually aimed at females, this colour appeals to them)
-In romance, the lighting is usually bright so that it reflects happiness. However, sometimes some clips can also be over-exposed in order to represent the fact that the characters are having a dream-like experience, (if they have just fallen in love, for example)
