Conventions of our chosen genre: Laura Bebber

Our film will contain the key aspects associated with a typical British Romance. However it will also entwine elements of dramatic Coming Of Age films.

Some of the key conventions are:

- Focusing on the physical and emotional growth of the central protagonist from youth to adulthood.

- Exploration of relationships and friendships.

- Showing clear connections between the characters and how their personal home lives have affected them.

- Aspects of rebellious behaviour, alienation and conflict with others.

- Passion and affectionate involvement.

- Captivating story lines in which reflect upon an audience.

- Exploring the many changes that occur in life such as: Innocence to experience, Ignorance to intelligence, Immaturity to maturity and Idealism to realism.

- Elements of drama and fast pace sequences to create tension.

- Soft, compelling music to set the tone.

- Snapshots of scenery and the environment.

- Emphasising isolation and independence within the youth culture.

- Gaining strength by overcoming fears and obstacles.

- Focusing on the development of romantic relationships between two characters.

- Exploration of emotions and providing escapism for the audience.

- Portraying realistic characters, setting and relatable life situations.
