  Hey there, I used the movie title "Love, Simon" as it follows the romantic theme of our movie idea. When researching the movie title, I came across the website www.artofthetitle.com , I used this website because it was easy to navigate and find my research.   1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? Titles displayed during the opening sequences were a heart symbol which described the theme of the overall movie. This helped show love and acceptance specifically for people struggling to understand their selves and how they identify as sexually. Opening credits are also shown in a visually appealing way to keep the audience attracted and to actually read the credits. This by using a colorful background to keep the audience's eyes hooked onto the screen. The opening credits are mostly there to aid in setting a tone for the move and grab the audience's attention from the start.  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

Hello again, making our film a Romance film means we must gage references about what conventions popular films use. But what are conventions? Movie conventions refer to the widely accepted storytelling elements and techniques used in filmmaking that audiences have come to expect and recognize. These conventions can include aspects of a film, such as its plot structure and character development. There are many popular conventions in romance films. Especially with young people as there is a common trope with young people that they are reckless. If you mix being reckless and romance, then you usually have entertaining moments that are perfect for a film. The First films conventions we will be looking at is To All the Boys I Loved Before. Which is about a student named Lara Jean who writes love letters to all of her crushes but keeps them hidden away in a box. When the letters are accidentally sent out, her love life is turned upside down as she navigates relationships with several boys...

Hello again! As I mentioned in my last post, my group and I are studying conventions in popular romance movies and are choosing elements of these movies to incorporate into our own film. Today we watched the 2018 film "Crazy Rich Asians", which follows the story of Rachel Chu, a Chinese-American woman who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young to attend a wedding and meet his family. Throughout the film, multiple conventions are highlighted. The most prominent convention is the "fish out of water" trope, which is portrayed through Rachel's unfamiliarity with the upper-class lifestyle in the film. My group and I loved this trope as it creates a relatable protagonist who reacts to the glamorous lifestyle in a way that most middle-class people would. We plan on incorporating this sense of relatability into the opening scene of our own film. Additionally, the film highlights obstacles of trust and communication, which are important aspects of a romanti...
