How are the characters introduced?
conventinally most romantic comedies always follow the narrative of two characters as shown in our comparative movie just my luck there is a female narrative shown and also a male establishing characters in our opening sequence we folowed convention by introducing both of our characters as shown in screen grab 4 with a split screen this is very useful as its a intresting way for the audiences too immediatly compare the characters.
costumes and props.
These two elememnts though they might seem veery minor are very useful in the production of a movie. in our comparative movie we see many props being used in other to reinforce the charcaters like the bag she carries is used to reinforce wealth and fashion wheras the male character the glasses are used to reinforce geeky and unlucky. we made use of props and costume in our opening sequence by enforcing a large gap of style and class.our female character is dressed more smartly and neatly and is carrying a bag that looks rather posh however our male character as a prop of a slepping bag to enforce hes homless and also hes clothes unlike our female charcter is dirty and scruffy.as shown in screen bag 5 and 6.
story and how the opening is set up.
our story is very conventional.reinforced in our comparative movie just my luck its a typical boy meets girl both they both have large diffrences of class.how its set up is also convetional as both characters are reinforced immediatly in our opening sequence.
title font and style.
in refrence to the title i think we followed convention in the sense that our title had its own sort of theme like many other romantic comedies. however i think we challlenged convention in the sense that normally the titles of romantic comedies are colourful however ours is just white.as shown in screengrab 2
setting and location.
in our comparitive movie for this task the scenes are all used to establisgh something baout the character likewise our own movie. in our opening sequence we mad use of two main setting and location which are extrreme contrast to one another. theres a home and a dirty looking hallaway. the girl who is of higher class is in the nice looking house hower the homless guy is on the dirty street.
camera work and editing.
in romantic comedies example just my luck both charcters are shown in other too introduc them to the audiences. one way in which we done this is by editing. we used a split screen to enforce both charcaters and also quite a few cross cutting too show both point of view. we also used camera work in the sccenes where both characters come together. we used long shots in the hallaway to establish the female charcter and also the male charcater about to meet up.
genre and how our opening sequence suggests it?
right from the very start of the movie there are connotations that our movie is a romantic comedy. like in just my luck we made a title a theme that is romantic comedy. our title name itself "lost and found" has a romantic fairytale feel to it. then the use of musiv also reinforces the romantic elements to the movie. aswell as the way we introduced both charcaters.
