Through out the making of my film I tried to follow the codes and conventions of rom-coms as best as possible. I watched a variety of different rom-coms so I was able to see what most of the codes and conventions are through a rom-com.
Boy meets girl is a convention that you see in all rom-coms, this is a very important element of the film as it brings the romance that you want in to it. In my film I had the boy meets girl very early on in the film, as it allows you to see the romance grow in both good and bad ways. As the audience it makes you feel more involved as you are able to relate your own relationship problems to the film.
Humour is another improtant aspect that is put into rom-coms. The humour is what brings the comedy to the film without this the film would not be a rom-com. The comedy brings the fun factor to the film and makes the audience smile. I have brought the comedy in through the animation that is used through out my film.
Happy endings are also always importnat in rom-coms as you want the audeince to feel happy once they have finished watching the film, you dont come accross many rom-coms that dont have a happy ending. I have made the ending of my film happy as it allowws the audinece to feel relief and happy for the characters that are in the film.
It is always important to have atwist in the plot as it draws the audience in more and stops them from getting bored. I have included a twist in my plot, Leon is cheating on the Heroine (Lily) who then ends up going out with her best friend Jay. This allows the audience to think more and gets them feelling exicted and want to watch more.
All these codes and conventions are what I feel will attract my target audience.
