Research into my chosen genre...

"Romantic comedy films are films with light-hearted, humorous plotlines, centered on romantic ideals such as that true love is able to surmount most obstacles."
My film opening is following the genre of a Romantic Comedy however, I wish to challenge that concept by not displaying to the audience within the opening two-minutes a possible romance which will take place.

In a typical romantic comedy the two lovers tend to be young, likeable, and apparently meant for each other, yet they are kept apart by some complicating circumstance (e.g., class differences, parental interference; a previous girlfriend or boyfriend) until, surmounting all obstacles, they are finally wed. A wedding-bells, fairy-tale-style happy ending is practically mandatory.[5]


A few of the top Rom-Com's of the decade:
Juno, About a Boy, Bridget Jones' Diary, Amélie, Wall-E, The Silence of Sleep.
