#2 Typical Conventions

Genre conventions in films are "elements, themes, topics, tropes, characters, situations, and plot beats that are common in specific genres". These conventions are what make up a type of film. In romance films I specifically like how there are the soft songs in the back, lovers reuniting, confession. These things make up the soft romantic film that makes your heart feel warm.

Conventions are things commonly used in films because it is what the audience enjoys best when it comes to these films. Conventions that the audience for these films enjoy best is the second chance, the happily ever after, and vulnerable moments. These conventions are what I want my film to have in order to have the audience full attention. Including what the audience will want is what I want my film to consist of. 

When it comes to the second chance it will be when the woman decides whether she wants to try again with her old lover. Throughout the journey of her figuring out this decision you see her vulnerable moments when she rediscovers these memories. The happily ever after is something that most romance films follow with and this decision is what the audience will want to happen but only will that event happen based off the characters actions and decisions.

The Twilight Saga showed how no matter what Bella always had feelings for Edward even when he left her. Edward loved Bella even when he knew what damage he could do to her. This love even when you can be separated is what I want my movie to represent. I want my movie to be able to represent two people who still have feelings for each other but don't know how to rekindle this old flame. The main character will be a woman who...

#31 Adjusting the plot

Image
 As time has gone on filming schedules have been a big part of the film. Sean is a coach for one of his sons baseball team. This takes up all his time since he is at the fields. This has caused me to have to adjust the plot. Still using the fact that Sean is doing something that is bringing back memories and his injury is involved.  Sean is a coach for his youngest sons team. His older son plays for another baseball team in the same place, which will help with the flashbacks. Sean will be coaching his youngest son Ezzy, as he watches his son play baseball he gets flashbacks of when he was playing baseball before his injury. His injury is what caused the end of his career and when he watches his son play he gets flashbacks. He wants to work on his injury so he can get back into the sport. This has caused me to cut the characters Gina and the daughter. The scheduling issues are too complex, as Shana is always working, and Brianna is always focused with sports and school. Since S...
