TRANSCRIPT

1. The high angle long shot connotes that the main character is looked down upon in society. This could be considered a typical convention of a romance as in romances the main character is often a outcast within society. 2. The close up of the character establishes that she is the main focus of the film. This would be a typical convention of a romance as the main character is introduced at the start of the film Romances also typically have voiceovers which is what Bridget Jones Diary also has. 3. The medium shot of the older lady and her could connote that there is a conflict due to the way the main character is looking at her. This would be a typical convention of a romance as there is a conflict. This could also be seen an unconventional as the main character is normally introduced rather than minor casting roles 4. The mid shot of the main character wearing bad clothes reflects the main characters personality. It also adds a comical aspect to the film as the clothing looks bad and doesnt suit the character. This would be seen as conventional as romances tend to have sub- genres. Also its a convention as the romances introduce the character 5. The long shot of the characters back establishes that he is also important: the pair are about to meet. This is a typical convention of a romance as it is the boy meets girl and you see them meet on screen. 6. The close up of the main character smoking introduces another aspect of her personality, this could be considered conventional as it reveals more about her personality However it could be considered unconventional as in romances, the female cares about their health, smoking is clearly bad for you. This could create conflict later in the film which would conventional 7. The mid shot of the pair talking is a typical convention of a romance as its the typical scenario of boy meets girl You see them meet on screen for the first time which is a typical convention as its their first impressions of one another, they are not already in a relationship. 8. The shallow focus is used to represent the thoughts of the man. By it focusing on him rather than her, it shows that he is not interested in her as she is blurred out of his mind. This could be considered both conventional and unconventional. Conventional as sometimes within romances, they dont like each other however unconventional as they sometimes do. It could be considered conventional, however, because there is a conflict between the couple which is typical in a romance.
