Genre Research

Genre research:



Typical Romance:

The typical conventions of a romance are; two people meet and either fall in love or are brought together by something terrible. Throughout the film we are meant to be wondering “are they going to get together?” or “they so belong together”.
Also the characters are meant to make us feel better about ourselves or optimistic about ‘love’.
There are generally two main characters that fall in love but we then have their close friends who we also get to know as they often give advice on the couple’s relationship.
The setting of the movies are often light and normally create an upbeat mood, and make sure that while people are watching they feel good.


Analysis of a Romance:
In the film The Proposal they start the film with the typical upbeat white font on the screen of the narrative, with the up-tempo music, creating a happy mood. To add to this mood with have bright settings and sunny scenes. The take’s are long and do not cut quickly from on e to another making it a softer film to watch. The majorities of the shot are mid shots from normal angle. This is to make the film and the characters look normal and make the audience think that this may happen.
We are introduced to the characters who we have the man who is the more ‘normal’ character and the woman as the more ‘controlling’ character. The shots allow us as the audience to know that they are eventually going to ‘get together’.
We are introduced to the problem of how the woman is an illegal immigrant and needs a visa; this is the ‘obstacle’ the couple most overcome, which brings them together.
