Codes & Conventions

 Codes & Conventions
  - Often Romantic Comedies have two protagonist which are normally a male and a female
  - They both fall for each other but there is a problem or they can't admit it
  - They eventually get together ( happy ending )
  - The target audience is normally young teenage girls and older
  - The protagonist are both very attractive
  - The trailer normally has a voiceover introducing characters
  - Often set in a busy area, work/urban environment
  - Soft, romantic music
  -  Gender role for both male and females are typical stereotypes of gender
  - Some nude, sexual scenes
  - Clothing - smart, quite sexy
  - Colours associated - red, pink
   - Male Protagonist rather funny, tries to impress lady

How are we going to challenge these conventions?

Firstly we are going to challenge the conventions by making the gender roles less stereotypical, for example in the beginning of the film the girl has a masculine side as she likes to dress like a boy and does not care about the way she looks.
Also we are trying to make the target audience boys aswell as females.
