The Certificate of my Romantic Comedy
My romantic comedy is going to be a 12. This is because the target audience of a romantic comedy is usually females between the ages 12 and 18. If the certificate was a 15 or 18 this would restrict the success of the film as less people would be able to watch it, especially the target audience. If it was a U or PG the consent wouldn't be that of a romantic comedy.
Some codes and conventions of a romantic comedies consent are infrequent use of strong language and brief nudity. These are allowed to be viewed by people who are 12 and over and I will be using these codes and conventions in my film.
By choosing to make my film a 12 I am increasing the chances of it being successful, based on the success of other romantic comedies, as this certification and genre go well together.

Final Synopsis
Bridget is a multi-millionaire who is popular in her work place and has many girl friends but is unattractive and never seems to attract the right type of men. In the past she has been used for her money by men and has given up on finding the love she's been dreaming of since she was a little girl. In high-school she was bullied by her peers and called ugly. A once in a lifetime opportunity comes along one day where she has the chance to re-design herself (face and body) but there's a catch. If she does this she has to give up all her money until she finds the perfect man, then she can get the money back. She decides to take the chance. Throughout the film we see her meet many different men but she's not used to all the attention and finds it difficult to choose one man since she has met so many. Finally she meets 'the love of her life' Andy. They start to get serious and he wants her to meet his family but she starts to panic. She realises this new person she has become isn't the real her and decides she wants to go back to the old her. She's scared that Andy won't want to be with her anymore but decides being herself is more important than finding love. She visits the make-over artist who changes her back to her old self. Worried, she goes to meet Andy. She explains everything that has happened to her and he declares his love her; he doesn't care about all of that. It turns out he is also a millionaire and has done exactly what she has done. This wasn't the real him. When he turns back to himself they get engaged and then eventually married.
I pitched this synopsis to my group and we all shared ideas. In the end we chose to use my idea because the plot is cliche' (like normal romantic comedies) but also contains a different sort of idea. Also, we know we will be able to use a lot of codes and conventions of a romantic comedy.

Synopsis
Bridget is a multi-millionaire who is popular in her work place and has many girl friends but is unattractive and never seems to attract the right type of men. In the past she has been used for her money by men and has given up on finding the love she's been dreaming of since she was a little girl.

Throughout the film we see her meet many different men but she's not used to all the attention and finds it difficult to choose one man since she has met so many. Finally she meets 'the love of her life' Andy. They start to get serious and he wants her to meet his family but she starts to panic. She realises this new person she has become isn't the real her and decides she wants to go back to the old her. She's scared that Andy won't want to be with her anymore but decides being herself is more important than finding love. She visits the crazy scientist who changes her back to her old self. Worried, she goes to meet Andy. She explains everything that has happened to her and he declares his love her; he doesn't care about all of that. It turns out he is also a millionaire and has done exactly what she has done. This wasn't the real him. When he turns back to himself they get engaged and then eventually married. The moral of the film is beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Concept
The film is filmed in colour, sometimes with red/pink lenses on the camera to represent the genre. In the opening sequence there will be a colour theme of feminine colours; pinks, reds, yellows and whites. Animation will be used to create hearts and flowers. Romantic non-diegetic music will also be used and Bridget and her friends will do synchronous actions (dancing, walking etc) to the music.
