Welcome back! In the last two blogs I talked 3 different genres I was interested in doing for the film opening. I came to the conclusion that romance would be the best drama for me to do and started looking into how to write a meet cute, to see if I could get any ideas. Today I will be looking at the different subgenres of romance and dive deeper into how to make the opening of a romance film.
When researching the different subgenres of the romance genre, the two that stood out to me were romantic comedies, and romantic dramas. A lot of my favorite movies are romantic comedies. They incorporate lots of dialogue with light humor throughout the movie, leaving the audience happy and satisfied at the end of the movie. On the other hand. in addition to addressing other topics including hardships, death, separation, adultery, and the emergence of love triangles, romantic dramas delve further into the contradictory feelings of passion and relationships.
I think doing a romantic drama is the best idea for the film opening. This is because I get to portray a lit of emotions while keeping the dialogue short and sweet. I can focus more on the actions of the main characters and use those actions to tell the first two minutes of a story.
Some of my favorite romantic dramas that I think have great openings include, A Walk to Remember and After.
That wraps up the blog post for today! Thanks again for reading! I'll see you in the next one.
