I have chosen to focus on the Period drama genre as I was interested in the regency styled films, I loved the lavish costumes, vast landscapes and big houses. I also have read books by Jane Austen (our biggest inspiration for our film) and enjoyed her way of writing.
What have you learnt from your genre analysis?
I have learnt from my genre analysis that families wanted their daughters to marry into rich families to create financial support. In the films I have watched this pressure often causes the female leads to rebel against this way of the society and find love not finance. The female leads are often outspoken and confident characters, with a sense of naivety and gullibility. The male leads are often strong figures with a sense of mystery behind their true identities, they draw the audience in.
