Genre: Romance
As I begin to formulate in my head what I want the story line to be for my portfolio project, I am enticed by the idea of using the genre romance. This genre is typically most attractive to female audiences, but does also catch a respectable amount of male consumers occasionally depending on the peace. The typical audience is also a majority teenagers and young adults. People who like emotional stories with a strong emphasis on character development specifically are typically the most drawn into the romance genre. In my project I envision a story of a guy who is down on his luck till he runs into a girl that changes his life. This aligns with a key aspect of this genre which is that the character faces challenges and experiences growth. Also, allot of pieces what use this genre have themes of sacrifice and destiny, something that might complement well with what I am picturing for my project.
Typically, romance tailored pieces use allot of soft lighting, invoking lightness and happiness. They also are known to use slow pacing throughout the piece as well as a heavy use of mise-en-scene resulting in many symbolic elements in the content. The romance genre is one that is known to make the experience the most personal with the audience than other big genres. This key factor will likely be the most difficult thing to do successfully if I were to use this genre. In terms of marketing, these pieces are typically released around early February or near valentines day to match with the vibe of the piece. Lastly, these movies are typically inspired by or derived from either books of real life events.
2 popular examples of movies that are centered around this genre are "Titanic" and the 2008 film "Mamma Mia!"
