Moodboard!

Here is a moodboard of inspiration for my opening.

Soundtrack Possibilties

After researching many uncopyrighted music sites, we decided that it would be better to use a popular song sang by someone else instead of the original artist. My first choice is She Will Be Loved orginally by Maroon5 but covered -

Another choice we had, suggested by Jordan was Natalie Imbruglia's Torn covered -
Another choice we came up with was One Direction's What makes you beautiful covered -
A fourth choice we had was Owl city & Carly Rae Jepson's Good time -

A fith and final choice is Jason Mraz's I'm yours covered -

The character 'Mollie' is a stereotypical girly girl that loves her pinks, frilly skirt and summery dresses. Her costumes for the opening will consist of the actress' own clothes to avoid sizing issues. She will wear pink pyjamas for the bedroom scene. As for the rest of the opening she will be wearing a black dress with accessories such as a necklace and tights. Mollie Leadbeater studies Performing arts and Drama & Theatre studies at Ashfield Sixthform. She just loves to perform in general.

Costumes & Make up.

For my film opening the girl's costumes will have to be very stereotypical, Girly, pink, frilly. This will be keeping to the conventions of the genre.

As for the popular boy he will be wearing a stereotypical male stylish outfit with jeans and a shirt or jumper. 

 

 

 The nerdy boy will be wearing similar clothes to the popular boy just not as stylish. Jeans and plain t-shirt.

 

As for make up, The female character will just wear their own make up like a normal day and the male characters will not wear any at all.

Rom-Com Posters

Rom/Com Posters

 
These are all posters from romantic comedies. Similarities I can draw from them all is that the protagonists are always in the poster.
The props and sets show characteristics of the genre by showing romantic scenes i.e a bedroom.
The facial expressions, body langauge and gestures shown by the actors also does this by being happy and flirty. The text always has the protaganists names, the name of the film and a short slogan.
