Gina and I planned and produced our film opening in the genre of Comedy Drama. This genre is widely demanded across the world and would be a difficult market to compete within; audiences look for particular consistencies within Comedy Drama’s while at the same time are searching for something utterly new in order to spark their interest. We kept to the conventions of this genre through the foundations of our film opening using familiar aspects such as a teenage protagonist and dysfunctional family. The stereotypically “rebel” sister and troubled protagonist along with the parent’s divorce are all aspects associated with similar media products.
However, we challenged forms of our chosen genre through the acknowledgement of OCD and the seriousness in which we addressed this. The divorce scene was also a more serious part of our film opening, where the light-hearted music faded out and the parents speech picked up. As our film opening was acquired to incorporate elements of both comedy and drama, I believe we balanced out the latter with the final sequence depicting humorously our protagonist spontaneously bursting into tears.
