Codes&Convention of a Romantic Comedy Film and how they are presented in Title Sequences
The film Hitch starts off with a male character giving a voice-over about women and love which is part of the codes&conventions of a rom-com.
There are also male characters in pursue of female characters and most of them are contrasting characters which would not be ideally seen together as a couple this is also a code&convention of a rom-com.
The setting is in different places but the most obvious setting is in the city which is another code&convention of a rom-com. Also the female character are dressed nicely and sexy which is part of the codes&conventionsof a rom-com.
The title sequence of the film The Proposal starts off by introducing the female character doing her morning exercise routine, dressed up ready to go to work and already eaten breakfast. She is organised and ready to go. It also introduces the male character but in a different way to the female he wakes up late and dresses up quickly because he's tie is not done properly and runs out of his house in order to get coffee and get in to work quickly. The is a stereotypical gender roles use here because the female character is ready to go to work dressed on time however, the male character is late and just manages to grab coffee before he goes into work.
There is also use of upbeat music which is part of the codes&conventions of a rom-com.
There is also the use of a big city because there is traffic and a big office as setting these are also codes&conventions of a rom-com.
