CODE AND COVENTIONS

ROMANTIC/DRAMA

Today I am going to analyse some places where a romantic movie is recorded.This research is going to help us to decide the location of our romantic trailer.Also I am goinng to analyse the music, the props and the costumes. Here are some romantic locations of famous movies.

One of the places I found, is an airport. In this places always happen people saying good bye. For example the heathrow airport where the movie "love actually" is taking place.

Another location is an hotel for example the "Las Palmas" hotel where pretty woman is recorded there.

New york´s Empire State Building has been the setting for a number of love scenes, but arguably the most memorable is Sleepless in Seattle.

There have been hundreds of romantic movie filmed or set in Paris, but we decided to go with Midnight in Paris.

Rome is another iconic city with a rich and expensive history. As it turns out, a number of romantic movies were filmed there, including Audrey Hepburn´s classic Roman Holiday from 1953.

Twilight is one of the most popular movies. Part of the movie was filmed in the beautiful Rio de Janeiro, which is in Brazil. It´s a city full of history as well as beaches, exotic music and rich landscapes. It´s underrated as a place where romance can blossom.

Now I am going to research of the music used in romantic films.This allow us to choose a music for our film.

“In Your Eyes” plays in arguably one of the best scenes ever in a romantic comedy. In 1989's "Say Anything," Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) holds up a boombox outside the window to win back the girl he loves, Diane (Ione Skye).

"Titanic" had an incredible amount of success in 1997. The movie broke box office records and Celine Dion reached No. 1 on charts all over the world with the love theme from the movie "My Heart Will Go On." The song now reminds people of the relationship between Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) in the film.

Maverick (Tom Cruise) falls for his instructor, Charlie (Kelly McGillis), at flight school in 1986's "Top Gun." Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" became a smash hit thanks to the movie and earned an Academy Award for Best Original Song that same year.

Not only is the song known for the notes Houston is able to hit throughout it, but it also served as one of the main tracks from her 1992 movie "The Bodyguard." Houston played a singer in the film, who ended up falling for her bodyguard Frank (Kevin Costner) who is trying to protect her from a stalker.

"Ghost" had a very memorable soundtrack, especially with "Unchained Melody." The song played throughout the emotional 1990 film, where Sam (Patrick Swayze) comes back as a ghost to protect his lover, Molly (Demi Moore), from a threat.

Disney movies are also films that feature love stories. In “The Lion King” when Simba is reunited with Nala as a adult lion, the two realize they are in love with one another. Elton John's “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” serves as the love theme of the movie. John also sang “The Circle of Life” for the 1994 animated film as well.

The research of props is also very important on a romance movies.

(1997) In titanic, I fell in love with that Heart of the Ocean diamond necklace that was featured in it.

The boots os Julia Roberts in the film pretty woman.This film is from Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.

Also the costume in romance movies is very important.

A film from Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire danes calle Romeo + Julieta of William Shakespeare is an example of costume in romance movies.

Titanic is another example. This is a film from Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet.
