At the end of AS level media studies, I have to produce a two minute film opening. I have decided the genre I will focus on are Chick Flicks because I have watched numerous chick flicks and feel because of this it will not be hard for me to recreate my own version. To help prepare for this I have researched various chick flicks and have made a collage of a few of them below.
One thing I noticed all chick flicks have in common is the use of a pink/purple/red theme. This convention could be because pink and purple are stereotypically quite girly colours (this is used to attract young adults). The use of the colour red could relate to the elements of love a chick flick typically contains.
Furthermore, another thing I noticed was that almost every chick flick contains an element of humour throughout. The story line is pretty straightforward, containing a beginning-where the story is introduced and you become aware of the protagonist's daily life/routine, eventually a male character is introduced who catches the attention of the protagonist, a problem eventually arises in which the two main characters have reason not to pursue their love interest any further. And then to end the film, one character (typically the male) redeems himself by showing an act of true love. Finally the two can live in harmony, with a 'happy ever after' ending.
