Final Task: Genre Research - Romance Genre



Genre Researched - Romance Genre

Camera Angles, Movement, Shots (CAMS): In the romance genre, common camera angles include close-ups on characters' faces to capture emotions, medium shots to show interactions between characters, and wide shots to establish settings or emphasize emotional moments. Camera movements often involve gentle, flowing motions to create a romantic and dreamy atmosphere. Shots like over-the-shoulder or POV shots can be used to convey intimacy or closeness between characters.

Mis-En-Scene (CLAMPS): The setting in romance films is often carefully crafted to evoke emotions, with locations like scenic landscapes, cozy cafes, or beautiful cityscapes. Costumes and props are used to enhance the romantic ambiance, such as elegant dresses, soft lighting, and symbolic items like flowers or handwritten letters.

Editing: Romance films commonly use techniques like cross-cutting between characters' reactions or parallel editing to show simultaneous events, especially during romantic tension or climactic moments. Slow pacing and long takes may also be employed to build emotional connections between characters.

Sound: The soundtrack plays a crucial role in setting the mood in romance films. Soft, melodic music or romantic scores enhance emotional scenes. Dialogue and sound effects are often prioritized to highlight intimate conversations and small, meaningful sounds, like whispers or rustling leaves.

Example Films: Some classic examples of romance films include "The Notebook," "Pride and Prejudice," "Titanic," "Romeo + Juliet," "La La Land," and "Before Sunrise."

Preferred Elements: I love the emotional depth and the exploration of human connections in romance films. The chemistry between characters and the ability of the genre to convey powerful emotions are truly captivating.

Disliked Elements: Sometimes, the predictability in the plotlines or the reliance on clichés can make the storytelling feel a bit formulaic. Also, when the romantic aspect overshadows character development or the storyline becomes too unrealistic, it can detract from the overall impact of the film.

Song Title: Stitches by Shawn Mendez  Props: Since our location will be at the beach, we'll need the basic beach essentials. This includes gears such as towels, Backpacks, water bottles, glasses, phones, sunscreen and a floaty. These props will be used to give the usual feel of a trip to the beach with friends. All of these will be carried on hand or on our bodies as we navigate towards the location. Location: Fort Lauderdale Beach is the desired location. If nothing goes wrong of course. If not Lauderdale By the Sea is our second beach beach my group and I will film at. (Hopefully nothing happens) Schedule: Sunset, around 6 Pm.

Production Blog: Editing!

Watching tutorials! Hi there, lovelies! I began working on the joint editing of all my scenes today. Since I completed my most recent project, I have not edited anything. To renew myself, I thought it would be best to watch a few videos on YouTube. Consequently, I watched films for about thirty minutes. After finishing that, I launched Capcut. My preferred editing software is Capcut. since it's free and I feel totally at ease using it. I spent around five hours editing in all. This is also a result of my tendency to be choosy. So I was finally done once it was as I wanted it. That editing was really striking. It felt so good to be on board. I went so far as to treat myself. I napped after making tacos. But I watched my Final Task again when I woke up. As it happens, the slumber inspired me to edit more. I spent an additional two hours editing, but I'm now satisfied with the outcome. I started my song at the beginning and emailed it to a few individuals to get their feedback. I...
