Use of Conventions
our project fits into both of the categories of drama and romance. we actually challenged the concepts and conventions of our genre by not having a "happy ending" for our two main characters who were in love and engaged to be married. many of the movies and/or films of this genre end up living "happily ever after", they actually end up breaking up and she returns the engagement ring he gave her via email which is a very heartwrenching scene and not a heartwarming concept like the resolutions of these films are typically supposed to be. with our film, we represent two social groups and their hardships and struggles with relationships in their situations. with one of the main characters (Jon love) being in the army and being away from his fiance (Allie), and having the deal with the typical hardships associated with this specific situation of a long term relationship. I feel like these types of long term relationships aren't discussed enough and that by representing them we are helping to bring them to the light and help some people realize and relate to them.
