Macro Elements:
Props - Having a scarf worn by one of our main characters makes her seem quite insecure about herself, not wanting to reveal her pale skin to our other main character. Also the colour may portray as to deep colours also the white may portray that she has some innocence and natural. 
Lighting - Using natural, high key lighting makes it easier for us to see the reactions on the main characters faces, also because it is a romance genre they aren't shot in dark lighting.
Types of camera shots - Using a combination of all the shots add together to make the film seem more intimate which then fits in with our romantic genre
Camera movements - Using a combination of the camera movements it shows both the main characters in a different world to each other. 
Diagetic sound - The way that all the micro elements come together it shows both our main characters having an intimate conversation, which then may portray as to why are they having such a deep conversation. 
Non diagetic sound - Putting on some sad and slow music in the background adds more impact to the narration that our main character and emphasises to the audience that something bad might be going to happen to one of the main characters. 
Location - Having our film located at a park makes the theme of romance stand out even more as couples take long strolls round a park and it is thought to be a romantic place.
