Representation of characters

After analysing my three narrative structures for a romance movie, i found out that stereotypically there are 2 main protagonists. These are the male and female characters.
The males characters are represented in a relaxed way. They seem unbothered by most things and re dressed casually. The are normally with other male friends and do activities that are stereotypically boyish such as football and xbox games.
The females are represented as very feminine as hey are wearing bright colour, usually dresses and skirts. They have there hair done and make up and appear to be making an effort in their appearance. The are usually seem with there friends that are female and carry out activities such as shopping. they are also shown to be more caring and emotional than the male characters.

Narrative Structure of 3 romance movies


Love Drug Classification

We have decided to give our film the rating of a 15. This is the category we feel our film will mostly fit in to. Because our film shows "imitable behaviour" it falls in to a 15 rating as we show scenes of dangerous behaviour.

British Board of Film Classification




"The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independant, non-governmental body funded through the fees it charges to those who submit film and video works for classification."













Triangle of Dependancy


Our film name

As our questionnaire didn't give us much feedback on our film name, we decided to carryout more research. We kept two of the names from our original questionnaire and added a few more. We then asked members of sixth form to vote there favorite one and these are the results we got:
Love Drug = 12
Forgetting You = 3
Love Passing = 4
Number 23 = 1

From these results we can see that Love Drug had the most votes. The group thought that this would be the most successful name and so this will be our chosen name for the film.
