MAIN Post 6: History of your chosen genre.

In this post I will Research the history of our chosen genre and imminent plans for its future.

We have had many discussions about the chosen genre of our film and we have came to the conclusions that we are doing Romantic Comedy.We have done some background research on our chosen genre Its noticed that Etiquette, technology and gender rules may have changed since the romantic comedy genre first arrived in the 1930s and 1940s but the formula remains almost the same to this day.  Its noticed that The Classic most modern "rom coms" now follow the same trusted pattern - boy meets girl, they get together, it all goes wrong but they overcome the obstacles eventually and are reunited at the end. So it is arguably not the suspense that enhances us to be hooked on the style of genre, perhaps it is quite the opposite. Screwball films like His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby and It Happened One Night, starring the likes of Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant, set the tone and audiences have been flocking to the cinema ever since.

It was reveled that from our research we found that many people wanted to see more of rom coms and felt it was an advantage that they knew what to expect when knowing your going to see a rom com with the usual mishaps, chemistry and humour.

To conclude I feel that Romantic Comedies are increasling popular they appeal to both men and women giving them a wider range of audiences, suggesting that the demand for romantic comedies will continuely grow.




Love actually is one of the most recent rom coms made in 2003
