2. About the research
• Anandjiwade Productions have decided to chose
romance as our genre. To continue we have to
complete a genre research as one of our tasks.
This also enables us to look in depth of how we
want to complete our productions. It helps us get
an insight of what types of codes and
conventions we need. We can also do this by
looking at examples from similar movie
influences or general romantic movies. This will
give us a basic idea of how our movie should be
set up.
