"The First Romance Film"
'The May Iwrin Kiss' was said to be the very first romance film. Lasting only 18 seconds, the 'film' was created in 1896 by Thomas Edison. The kiss was staged by the actors for the camera of a New York newspaper.
Romantic Drama:
A romantic drama usually involves an 'obstacle' which the characters must over come in order to fulfil their love for each other. Music within this genre is highly stylised to give the emotional mood and create an atmosphere.
Examples From Different Eras:
(1942)
(1984)
(1995)
(1996)
(2011)
Our trailer would be seen as a romantic drama as it has all the same features needed to be one. The storyline includes an 'obstacle' which is interfering with the relationship of the two characters causing them to be apart.
Here are some additional posts which I have created relating to the romance genre:
