Melodrama Trailer Analysis - Safe Haven

Here is my analysis of the trailer for 'Safe Haven'.



  • The beginning of the trailer shows a woman who is on the run from people who are looking for her
  • The trailer has uplifting music throughout
  • The 2 main characters are a man and woman who meet and fall in love with each other
  • There is romantic scenery shown, for example canoeing in the river and being on the beach
  • There is kissing
  • A lot of romantic elements are involved throughout the trailer.
  • The dialogue of the film shows romantic and melodramatic conventions of the film for example lines like 'I'm in love with you', 'I'm happier with you' and 'There is no safer place for you than here with me'
  • The trailer mentions other melodramas like The Notebook and Dear John and also the writer, Nicholas Sparks, who is well known for melodramas.
  • Parts of the trailer shows scenes of separation and love problems which are typical conventions of a melodrama.
