In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Forest Gump, with the falling feather, was an idea in which we based our raindrop on. These high production film were a challenge to work towards as we kept trying to get the falling raindrop to look as real as possible, this was our real challenge.
Our film intro Moving On is a romantic comedy and is very similar to films such to the Break-Up and Bridget Jones, this films were produced my Working Title and are American films that are targeted to a English audience. The female character is very similar to our film however there is possibly more emotion within our film and less comedy. Our film has alot more emotion and deep meaning than other rom coms, and it doesn't have as much comedy in is, but comedy may come in the film later on.
The form and how the events in the film intro are very typical of a rom com, this film targets a young British audience. The film intro is portrayed as a young women not happy in her life and job looking for love, this is a convention that is real and therefore can relate to real life people. The character is some what a stereotype of the romantic comedy, she is young, full of emotion and free similar to the lead characters in Bridget Jones and The Break-Up.
We are challenging our audience as there isn't many laughs and it is rather emotional within the intro and this may not be expected by the audience, however this will come later. On the other hand we have also stuck to the close genre rom com and haven't twisted that genre or mixed it, making it rather straight forward.
