Love Actually

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_saCHD4Wzqk

Rom Com with Hugh Grant who is known to do Rom Com's. Immediately we know the genre of the film. It introduces love in all forms notn just romantic love. Only digetic sound of Hugh Grant and the non-digetic sound of a soundtrack which sets the tone of soothing love and romance. It sets the location of Britain with Heathrow airport with an establishing shot. It uses mid-tracking shots to show people running up to loved ones but also close-ups to show emotions of the people. The codes and conventions are clearly shown through Hugh Grant being a British, Rom-com actor and being in London Heathrow airport for location. The themes of love, family, friends, relationships are clearly shown also with the cinematography of mid-shots and close-ups of people in an airport running up to each other with love and such happiness.

The location of the film is clearly shown in an American city but most importantly a high school which then connotates the film for a teen audience. It is shown by an establishing shot capturing many students in the school. The whacky typography suggests the genres of a comedy and a teen film. Only one main character is shown by standing out and being different by the song she plays being different to the one on the soundtrack. The themes of the film are shown by the hatrid of the main character and also school life and about the prom.
