Codes and Conventions of a Romantic - Comedy.

In Romantic - Comedy films, or "Chick Flicks", they are usually told from the female point of view. They are set in usually a big romatic city, such as London, Paris or New York. Majority of the time, the characters (usually one female and one male) are introduced to us before they meet. They are very "boy meets girl" kind of films.  A rom-com will usually feature someone struggling with love, or the concept of being in a relationship. Alot of the time, they are set around Christmas. Rom-coms usually have voiceovers aswell. The soundtrack for a Rom - Com, is made up of light instrumental pieces, and timeless chart lovesongs. The characters are likeable and funny. The lighting is bright and airy. Alot of Rom-Coms are made by Working Title, this includes films such as, Love Actually and Bridget Jones's Diary.
