R+P Post 6: Our chosen genre and how we plan to connote this

Our chosen genres are romance and comedy. We plan to connote this through every aspect of our film opening including Guy's physical actions, expressions, voice over and the music.
Comedy will be implemented at moments such as when Guy does his hair badly, skips happily around his house and gets rejected.
Romance will be implemented by the voice over which will anchor the fact that Guy is going on his first date - a blind one. It will also be connoted through Guy meeting his date and then getting rejected.



Our inspirations were John Tucker Must Die, Bridget Jones and The Inbetweeners 2

In the Inbetweeners 2, the group get rejected by the host of a house party as they are dressed in fancy dress - considered ridiculous while the party people were stylishly dressed in casual wear. They were laughed at and then denied entry however the group did not know why they were rejected, and tried to gain entry which made the moment funnier.
