Romantic Comedies
- Sub-genre of comedy films as well as romance films- Light-hearted humerous, dramatic stories
- Centered around romantic ideas such as "true love" or "the perfect couple"
Basic Plot-line
- Two people meet and part ways due to fixed obstacles, then ultimatley re-unite
- Initially these two people do not romantically involve themselves because they think they don't like each other (one might have a partner or other social pressures)
- The screenwriters leave clues that suggest the characters are attracted to each other, or that they would be a good love match
- When they are separated they realize how much they were "perfect for each other"
- One then makes a spectacular effort to find the other person
- Or... due to coincidental error the two meet again
- They declare their love for each other and the film ends happily
- This is the basic plot-line but there are many different variations
- The attraction between the lead characters must be established quickly
- Scriptwriters often create a humerous sense of awkwardness between the two potential partners
- Depicting initial clashes of personalities or beliefs, embarrassing situations, or by common misunderstanding
