I have been doing some research into some films based on a similar genre to ours - romance. Firstly, i have chosen to focus on the opening to Titanic as it's genre is even more relevant, being a romantic tragedy. Also, feedback from our questionnaires revealed that this was often stated as a favourite romance film, and is also one of the most recognisably famous romance films of all time.
Therefore, with it's immense popularity i thought it would be an appropriate choice to analyse and see which aspects of it we can draw from in order to achieve more appeal from our target audience within the 2 minutes we were allocated for our opening.
Corresponding with our idea, titanic has a reflective opening to initiate the story. It begins with an investigation in the far depths of the pacisific ocean, in search for the Titanic.
A contrast is shown between the past and present. in the present the ship appears unsightly -mouldy, dirty and ruined. then, a reflection on the past brings the audience back to when the ship was it it's prime - immaculately clean, luxurious and grand.
We this linked this to ours, as a contrast is shown between the present when the female is distraught, crying, and alone and the past when she is happy and smiling at her wedding, surrounded by family and friends. this contrast provokes thought as our audience will wonder what may have have happened to cause such a dramatic change of circumstance.
