Episode 21: Directing Meet Cutes

By Ines | October 17, 2023

The “Meet Cute” is the memorable first encounter in romance. Four key elements define this moment:

1. Setting: From Pride and Prejudice’s Victorian backdrop to Fifty Shades’ modern city.

2. Trope: Common narratives, like “opposites attract,” set the emotional stakes.

3. Attraction: Mutual allure as in Romeo and Juliet, or one-sided interest like in The Notebook.

4. Situation: Be it a heroic rescue or an embarrassing mix-up, this is the heart of the Meet Cute.

Combined, these elements ignite the spark that fuels a romance’s journey.
