IDEA's!!!!!!!

In order to create our female protagonists rant on what she hates about men, we asked some close friends on their personal opinions and dislikes. Therefore, making it more relateable to a wider audience. These pet-hates are going to be quite petty, which creates humour, such as: eating with wide elbows, and leaving finished ice cream tubs in the freezer! Giving a negative approach on her views on men, and inspired with by a an 'Amelie' scene.

Are Rom-Coms just easy viewing?

Rom-com's can be claimed 'guilty pleasures' due to their satisfying, uncomplicated pleasures. Although, I think the attraction to them is due to a self-assuring feel of realism, for example Bridget Jone's diary is a film some women could find appealing due to relating to Renee Zellweger as the unfortunate protagonist.




An audience member should see the protagonist's personal growth and form a bond which helps in empathising with the character through their ups and downs.

In our opening I'd like to create this relationship between the character and viewer, as I see this as a typical 'Relationship-comedy' convention and also engaging.


The female protagonist Cher in Clueless uses narration to help an audience form an understanding. As does:


Carrie in Sex and the City

Caty in Mean Girls
