Audience - The target audience is mainly aimed at
women because they become more interested and fascinated by
the fact of being in love and someone actually being there to
look after them. Romance films is usually about the female
wanting attention from the male which relates to reality and how women want to
be noticed by men. The target audience is usually recognizable from
when the film starts and who is involved in with the film.
Characters - The characters that are
usually in a romance film is a really pretty girl and a good looking man.
They then happen to fall in love but they have to overcome many problems
and
dispute that might come across in the relationship.
there is often the case of the man that falls in love with another women is
usually married or they have a relationship with another women. This may be
done to throw the female off guard and see how powerful her love for the man is
and so if she is still seeing him and wants a relationship then you know that
she is generally in love with him and so would do anything to be with him.
Sound - The sounds that are involved in a romance
film can vary depending on the scenario of the film. The
diegetic sound in most romance films is dialogue of the characters
speaking or music which can usually be a piano or a violin playing
soft gental music to show that it is a 'love' film and that it is a delicate
situation. there can be a lot of non-diegetic sounds which very often is
the narrator telling the target audience what the characters are
thinking and how they feel and sometimes it is just telling the audience the
story so far. The narrator usually mentions that it is a romance
love film when they start talking at the start and sometimes say things that
influence the target audience to believe that the film is going to be based on
romance. the opening scenes of romance films stereo-typically can
start with a guitar as well and the strings are played gently to give off
a fragile sound.
Setting - The setting of a romance film is usually
somewhere busy but has beautiful scenes and views such as a city like New York.
this is done to resemble the fact that there is going to be something
happening at a pretty place. In the film 'Holiday' , there was another setting
where it was a man and a women in the car together in some sort of city. This
also tells the target audience that this could come across and a romance film
because of the way that they are looking at each other but also the fact that
it is just those two in the car on their own and they are looking happy
together. At the start of the film, the setting is sometimes shown behind the
characters or will be shown to the audience through the uses of establishing
shots. This would make it recognizable to the target audience.
Camera Angles - The camera angles in a romance film
usually consists of a lot of close ups of the characters face to express the
facial expressions showing the audience how the characters feel without them
speaking. There are also a lot of two shots which involve two of the characters
in a shot at the same time. This is usually the female and the male lovers in
one shot showing that most of the film is about them but also shows the
relationship between them. Long shots are used the show the full setting of the
film in one shot to show the target audience where the film is going to be set
and how it links in with the romance story.
Certificate - The certificate for a romance film is
usually aged within 12-15 years of age. This maximizes the target audience. The
typical romance genre would include sexuality, gender and status which may not
be wanted to be exposed to younger children.
