I believe a love story makes a good narrative as the questionnaire results carried out in my media class showed the majority were attracted to simple stories with a thought-provoking twist and that the Romance genre was the second most popular.
Genre and Comparative Texts
I believe my Short Film idea can be largely compared to the 2007 Romantic Drama 'P.S I Love You' starring Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank, as it features a touching storyline about a man communicating with his wife through a series of letters after his death - the film was very successful at the box office particularly with the female audience.
However in contrast to the mainstream 'P.S I Love You' I would like to target my film to a more 'indie' audience, we obviously do not have the budget to produce the next Hollywood blockbuster so I shall be relying on an artistic narrative much in the manner of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' (2004) starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet as the unconventional couple who decide to erase one another from their memories. The film uses a number of good visual techniques: the main female protagonist, Clementine, changes her hair colour according to her mood. There are also many though provoking shots filmed using the elements such as a snow covered beach and surreal instances where characters disappear and faces are distorted.
