GenreThe genre of my opening scene is romantic comedies. I am a huge fan of the genre and thought it would be something different that I could film. The genre also is directed at a person like me as a target audience, therefore I can help to understand the things a target audience would want from the genre.

My IdeaI will be filming in Bristol as romantic comedies are normally set in a urban area, and I think that city has a lot of different places to film. Additionally, Bristol is a British city and I would like my opening scene to really represent the British culture.My idea for the opening scene is to have a young woman who has woken up late for work and is running late. The reasoning behind this idea is to have a young women who identifies with the target audience. A generic convention is to have the movie revolving around the main women of the story. Also many British romantic comedies has a scene where one of the characters is getting ready.The reason why I’ve decided to have the woman running late is because it is out of her normal routine which foreshadows that something is going to happen that different to her normal life.

My InspirationMy inspiration for my openingscene is the beginning scene of Four Weddings and a Funeral. The scene where two characters are late for something very important. The scene is very comical and iconic within the movie world.
