'When In Rome' trailer

The best example to use as a model trailer for mine is the 'When In Rome' trailer. The 2010 rom-com uses a lot of features that I wish to use in my trailer.

For example:

The comically timed editing. This provides the audience with an enjoyable way of watching the funnier parts of the film in the trailer. The music stops, the funny line is delivered, or some sort of mishap or slapstick happens and the music continues. I would very much like to use this method in my trailer - it is particularly typical for this genre to do this.

The jumble of jokes and story. The mixture of jokes and story gives an overall impression of one big funny storyline. Small jokes or funny goings on are placed cleverly between parts of the story, so there will be a part of the trailer which shows us what the story is, followed by a funny moment, followed by another bit of the story, and so on and so forth. This is also something I look forward to using in my trailer, as well as mixing the chronology of the story line.

The introduction of the protagonists and antagonists. As is with the comically timed editing, the introduction of protagonists and antagonists comes around when everything stops. This not only shows how important the characters are (so important that everything stops for them) but it gives a clear definition of who to look out for. I will also use this is my trailer.

All that has been mentioned above is classically typical of rom-coms, and as I have previously thought, I would like my trailer to be a 'mainstream' crowd pleaser.
