Pitching idea!

This was the point where are work started to get really serious as this was the point where we were about to do our final piece, a two minute opening of a romantic comedy. In our pitch we had to include a synopsis of our film, a detailed opening, a script and we had to have extra detail on how will we be following the conventions of a rom com.
Our title of our film is called prayers answered in which of course relates to the film itself. The basis of the film is about a girl named Skye in which she is a stereotypical geek, whose life isnt going all that well from the death of her mother several years ago and her father being ill. It shows the story through her life when she started her new school to her falling for a boy and getting everything she wanted so basically her prayers have been answered.
The basic script of the opening is a voice over of the female protagonist talking about her life and her first day at her knew school.
The shots that we intend to use in our opening are close ups to identify with the character, long shots so we can get a look at the surroundings and over the shoulder shot to follow and engage with the female protagonist. We follow the codes and conventions of a romantic comedy as alot of rom coms use voice overs at the beginning, the voice over usually being the main character. We are also using a non diegetic sound track through out which i hope is aiming to be upbeat or relating to love. This is another convention which takes place in most romantic comedies.
The stereotypical characters are also a code and convention of romantic comedies as we are using a female geeky protagonist, a hansome male protagonist and a bitchy girl.
