GENRE

Romantic Drama

WHY I CHOSE THIS GENRE ? Most interesting and touching for me Most films I watch are romantic drama Inspirational scenes were mostly based

on this genre Have a better knowledge about the

conventions on this genre.

ROMANTIC GENRE Love stories Affairs Focus on passion emotions Journey love takes through

marriage Usually lovers face obstacles Illness Financial problems Racial Social class status Sexual orientation

CONVENTIONS Love at first sight young with older love obsessive love forbidden love sacrificial love Tragic love Ending with a ‘’happily ever after’’ Reunion of family Final kiss Not all have happy endings
