The Idea
Our initial idea is to produce a romance film that should cover at least one sub genre, being either comedy or horror. Combining the broad genre of romance with a sub genre should help us create a story that flows easier; romance on its own would prove too broad-a-genre to cover.
Our two films of choice to use as research references are:
Four Weddings & A Funeral
IMDB: "Over the course of five social occasions, a committed bachelor must consider the notion that he may have discovered love."
and
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
IMDB: "A young Greek woman falls in love with a non-Greek and struggles to get her family to accept him while she comes to terms with her heritage and cultural identity.'
Researching these films should help me understand the differences in production and distribution of British and American rom-com films, including how they were marketed upon their release.
