After analysing 5 openings, the next stage was to analyse in detail 3 romantic comedy films commenting on aspects of mise en scene, general codes and conventions and theories by Propp and Todorov. The films I decided upon were 'Bridget Jones' Diary,' 'Just Like Heaven' and 'Miss Congeniality.'
This task took me a long time to complete, as I found it difficult to find what parts of the narrative were most important. Commenting on stock characters and generic codes and conventions was easier and helped me realise what the aspects of this genre were. As the generic make-up of these films were similar it was easier to identify what all romantic comedies should be like, which will help me when creating my own film opening.
