Editing in Romance tends to be simple. Looking at many romance films and finding a typical shot type is cross cuts. Cross cuts are when to scenes are happening simultaneously and the shots cuts from one scene to another, for example when two people are getting ready to go on a date with each other. Straight cuts are used to keep continuity to the story, so it carry's on flowing. Cross Cuts may be used to establish a certain action happening at two different locations. The pace of the editing will be slow however subtle and significant changes do occur throughout the film. Such as when the character starts to fall in love with someone the pace of the editing will increase to show this change.
Mise en scene in a romance is vital as it helps to give an understanding of the genre from previous experiences for example in a romance film you can expect to see soft lighting effects and relatively natural lighting from the house and whatever lights are present in the particular shot, this is to achieve the feeling of it being in touch with the reality making the story as believable as possible.The music is always important part of any film no matter what genre. A common icon of a romance genre is the soft tender music, this is to represent tenderness and sensitivity of the relationship and often represents the characters personality. The music is the key in the movie as it creates mood and suspense and that is the key to creating the feel of the film.
