Credits and titles

We changed the credits a lot from the orginal idea we had discussed as a group. The way we have designed them is based on the titles from Mean Girls, the colour helps show the girly side to the film. We also decided to name our piece Snakes and Ladders. We decided this because its not to cheesy or to straight to the point but it does relate to love being a game of ups and downs.

Genre

                                       Romantic films
The conventions of a romantic film are:

• Girl meets boy typically this is an accident
• Argument that splits the couple for them to later be reunited 
• "Happily ever after" ending
• Symbols that relate to love (hearts, flowers, rings)
• Targeted at a female audience rather than a male audience
• Emotion renching (pain, love)
• Sometimes there is a struggle in choice i.e two men fighting for a female 

Good Examples of Typical Coventional films are:

• The Notebook - 2004 

Based on a novel. A couple fall in love from very different backgrounds, the male comes from a poor background where as the female does not. They are separated by social difference but eventually end up together.

• The Vow- 2012

A happy married couple end up in an accident the female loses her memory and her husband has to work to regain her love.




There are also films that dont abide by these coventions to create a twist in the story:

• Titanic -1997 

A couple who fall in love although it is frowned upon due to their social difference. They eventually end up together but when the titanic sinks the male dies therefore ruining the happily ever after convention.
