Genre

For our opening sequence to our film we have decided on having a Romantic drama for our film. we have decided that this is the best for our story line as its a drama about love and the loss of love.

Romance film can be defined as a genre wherein the plot revolves around the love between two people. This genre usually has a theme that explores an issue within love (which links in with ours), including but not limited to: love at first sight, forbidden love, love triangles, and sacrificial love. The tone of Romance film can vary greatly. Whether the end is happy or tragic, Romance film aims to evoke strong emotions in the audience.
