The narrative of a romance is a love story between a man and woman. In many there is a protective father who doesn't approve of his daughters boyfriend, so he has to rebel against him to see her. There is also usually an argument which is resolved towards the end of the movie.
Setting- romantic scenes such as beaches. Filmed in towns, cities, high school and many other places. It is quite generic and could be filmed anywhere.
Technical codes- plenty of long shots to show couples in different types of scenery. Tracking shots e.g. couple walking through a park. Close ups on hand holding and kissing scenes.
Lighting- the lighting really does depend on the type of atmosphere and mood that particular scene has. As it is normally happiness there are many bright colours. Blue skies and bright sunshine.
Characters- Depending on where the movie is set e.g. In high school= teenage boy and girl. There could also already be a couple to begin with.
However not all romantic films go down this route. Romeo and Juliet is the perfect example of a different type of romance.
