      • Found conventions of Rom-com are introduction to make characters & back story -found in 'A Cinderella Story' main protagonist tells her back story through a voice over. So we decided to introduce main character and back story - pic scene

      • Found conventions of 'Indie genre' is artistic shots as found in Frighten Rabbits video 'State Hospital' birds fly by across sky. We liked this so did it

      • Found they present titles in creative ways like in 'The Proposal' they have an actors name appear in mirror. We used the creative ideas and actress name spelt out in toothpaste in sink
    • A2
      • We looked at theorist like Andrew Goodwin - editing on beat was important. So on 'heartbreak'clips changed with beat lasted 1-2 secs long
        • Progression
