G321: Genre Moodboard

We have created a mood board on romantic-comedy in order to put together some common images and words associated with this genre. This will help us in triggering ideas and exploring possible themes for our plot line.

We have found that the romance element comes from two protagonists (normally male and female) and the comedy arises from the problems they encounter during their relationship.

We have also researched the top ten films in our genre (information from IMDB) however, we had to split the films into separate genres 'Comedy' and 'Romance'. In spite of this, we did find that many of these films corssed over and appeared in both genres.
