Sound:
Similarly to The Conjuring 'Along Came Polly' starts of with a non digetic voice over followed by upbeat music. As the story progresses the non digetic sound changes to cheesy sad heartbreaking music, this keeps in with the genre but changes the mood and reflects tone. As the story continues the more non digetic lifting music is played 'let your love go.' This continues in telling the story.
Editing:
The editing is fast pace and a lot of straight cuts are used in telling the story.
Camera Work:
The camera work begins with an establishing shot, this sets the scene of the story. The close up of the flip flops portrays without being very explicit that she has cheated on him. The close up of his reaction again show the rom-com conventions that although heart breaking has an element of humor to it. Further on as the duration of the trailer continues a medium close up of Polly is used to establish the new love interest which is Polly. The close up of Ruben and Polly holding hands establishes their relationship.
Mise En Scene:
The mise-en-scene is conventional for a rom com as is a geeky male which is Ruben dressed in clothing suggesting perhaps he isn't really 'eye candy' however the pretty girl another key convention who Ruben falls fall is very beautiful. Jenifer Aniston and Ben Stiller are conventional recognizable actors for both these roles and this genre.
