1. The genre I decided to research was a romantic comedy.
2. The story usually opens up to an establishing shot of a city. The locations are usually common cities such as New York City or Los Angeles. This allows the story plot to be relatable and understandable. Due to the idea that it is a romantic comedy, usually the girl and boy meet in an embarrassing way. This could be anything from bumping into one another in the street and spilling everything to meeting from a common friend. A romantic comedy is humorous, and although obstacles are faced, they tend to not be too deep. Humor is turned to in overcoming the obstacles thrown at the characters. The movies tend to be chic flics and are seen from a woman’s perspective. While this may vary, the point of view is majority from a woman, due to the audience that watches these movies.
3. Similar production techniques are seen in all romantic comedies. The lighting is usually bright, establishing a happy and care free tone. The overall tone is positive, so happy songs are used. Bright colors, such as pinks and blues, are incorporated into the movie in order to lighten the mood. There are often close up shots of the characters in order to establish their emotions and show the connection between them. Sometimes, flashbacks are present in order to show important moments from previous relationships or scenarios.
4. Clueless is an iconic romantic comedy, highlighting all of the key factors that these movies should have. In Clueless, bright colors like pinks and yellows are seen in the characters outfits and in the majority of scenes. The tone is relaxed, with the main characters turning to humor in order to get through the obstacles thrown at them. It is from the girl, Cher’s, point of view, and focuses primarily on her and her experiences. She finds love in an unusual place while attempting to set up a few of her teachers. Jokes are made throughout the movie, keeping up with the light tone. This personally is my favorite romantic comedy, and it includes the important factors that these movies are made up of.
5. 10 Things I Hate About You is a romantic comedy from the late 1990s. In this movie, it is told from Kat’s perspective. She lets her guard down and falls in love with the new boy on campus, and the movie highlights their relationship. From the good to the bad, humor is used in order to keep up the tone. The lighting is bright, helping to create the atmosphere. Similarly, the background music is happy and positive, helping to create the positivity. This movie includes the majority of the factors that make up common romantic comedies.
