3. The genre of our film is Romance. We chose this
genre as we want to create a love film which
involves an essence of sweetness and cuteness
as well as an emotional tragic side. The films
that inspired us to choose this genre was ‘’The
Notebook’’ and ‘’Crazy Stupid Love’’. However
due to the film being filmed in London the film
will be a high British romance film another film
which also inspired us was; Bridget Jones Diary.
