Genre Research: Romance

The romance genre is a love story where two people overcome adversity to obtain their happily ever after. The camera angles that can be found in the romance genre are the two shot and over the shoulder shot for showing a conversation between the two lovers. Mid shots can also be found to give a detailed look of the body language of the characters.Costumes: Suits and dresses can be seen for weddings, dances, dates, and parties.Lighting: There is usually dim lights for a romantic tone inside.Acting: The actors for these movies have to pretend to be in love and may have to touch each other and kissMakeup: This is used by both men and women to boost their facial features and make them look more expressive when talking. Props: Props in romance movies include items such as rings to show marriage, a bouquet of flowers for a gift on dates, or restaurant menus for the date.Setting: Cities such as Paris or New York are used as popular cities for romance movies. Many movies would take place near christmas or winter and at night.Editing: Cross-cutting can be found in the movies in order to establish certain actions between 2 places. The pace of the editing is also shown to go faster as the plot deepens to show change. Sound: The sound is usually ambient and non-diegetic music in order to make a smooth atmosphere for the audience.Examples of romance films are Resort to Love, The Kissing Booth 3, and West Side Story.Elements that I really like from the romance genre is the suspense where one of the lovers are in danger and the other lover has to save them. This creates a mystery for one of the lovers to solve in order to help the other one out.The elements that doesn't appeal to me is the "will they won't they" factor. This makes the romance story seem like it takes forever to get the plot moving because there are always going to be issues in the way.

Our group that consists of Chad, Sebastian, and I will feature the Nintendo Switch and all its features. Now our commercial will start with the iconic nintendo switch intro. This is found on all of nintendo switch's commercial intros. It lasts around 2 seconds so this will not take up any filming time that we need. The next panel is where we look at the nintendo switch game menu. This menu will have to showcase to the viewer what the games you can play. In this scene, we will also be entering a game and showing small gameplay. The third scene will show us playing a game together with the screen. This scene is meant to showcase how everyone can play together at the same time. This scene can also show a game being played and what to do which is promoting both the console and the game. The fourth scene will showcase what the game will look like when the console is in handheld mode. This mode is when the controllers are inside the console and its made to be able to play for one person....

It was a dangerous place for me, but my sister was the one who made me change my ways. She made me realize that violence isn't the answer to everything.

Based on the research we did for the blogs, we feel as though mystery will fit best for our movie. This genre really would climb as the film goes on. By the end of the film is where we find our solution or our ending. This inspired us as a whole as we are trying to create a film that has to do with suspicion. It would really draw the audience attention. I feel like our pitch really fits in with this genre. If in the future we would have to tweak it, it wouldn't be a problem. We weren't thinking to add dialogue at first as our idea, but it might be the thing that we need to add. As stated previously, the mystery genre has a decent popularity in films nowadays. The wide variety of aspects and work that goes into these films really brings it all together. Which further creates something that truly represents mystery. Some camera angles that correlate to mystery are close-ups. They also include medium close-ups. They also use dialogue when it comes to mystery to give the audience a...
