Group Genre Explanation

Today we were put into the groups that we will be working as for our coursework task and chose our genre. As a group we decided to base our film on the genre of Romantic comedy. This is because this particular genre has many codes and conventions and it has interesting themes. Some of the codes and conventions it involves is a happy atmosphere with plenty of lighting, romantic comedies are usually used to entertain people with humor therefore it is very unlikely for there to be low/dark lighting. The colors associated with the genre of romantic comedies are pink, red as they are very flowery and bright. These colors are also linked to love, sex, romance and femininity hence why they are used in this genre. Another reason why we chose the genre of romantic comedy is because of the setting these type of films are made in. They are usually set in big cities such as New York or London, we will be filming in London as we will then be conforming to the conventions of a romantic comedy.
