1. P.S. I Love you is a romantic comedy drama. Through some screen grabs from the trailer, I’m going to show you some typical conventions of this genre. “P.S. I Love you” was an occurring sentence in all of Gerry’s letters which was romantic and what you would expect of a rom com.

2. An idyllic setting is regularly used in romantic comedies as well as iconic settings which people can recognise. This film starts off with being in New York City and finishes in the rural part of Ireland.

3. A prominent love scene in the trailer, which shows the relationship between the protagonists. There are a lot of close up shots of them which reflects the intensity and closeness of their relationship.

4. Inter titles tend to be seen in a romantic comedy trailer, because they help to tell the story through short, snappy statements.

5. Romantic gestures are necessary for a romantic comedy to show which portrays love. In this films case it is for remembrance and for the ability to move on. Also gives an inkling of what the film is about.
