Misunderstanding

Research about our theme: Young couples Draft 1

• There are almost 16 million adults aged 16-24 living in the UK of which almost three in ten (4.6 million) are either married or living with their partner.

• So there is a conflict in needs and readiness when it comes to relationships for those in that age bracket. Some may marry prematurely because the need for connection wins out.

• Students who marry while in school may be missing out on some experiences that would enhance their life experience and maturity.

• In their late teens and early twenties, people are still forming their adult identities, and are still doing a lot of growing psychologically. It is best to wait to marry until after about age 27 or so to ensure that this growth curve has begun to slow down. This reduces the chance that people will later come to realize that they didn’t really know themselves yet when they got married, as well as feel that they have grown apart from their partner.

Chosen Conventions and how it developPart G

Convention Use/Develop/Challenge Description and Purpose

Examples from film with still shot

Conflict and Arguments

Use- this convention of conflict in a drama film is kind of predictable, as most drama films have arguments between characters. Develop- We will develop this convention in our opening sequence by using close ups and extreme close ups with an addition of gestures and movements of the characters.

This is the scene where Precious and her mum were fighting after Precious gets home with her new baby. This challenges the convention as it have high violence between characters.

Precious

Love Triangle Use- this convention of love triangle is rarely scene in a drama film, but in a drama-romance films are possibly have a love triangle or a challenge for the couples. Develop- we will develop this convention by using another girl, so that the girlfriend of the boy will think he’s cheating. However, there will be a twist and it was just a misunderstanding

This scene is when she told her husband that she’s seeing another guy. This uses the convention of love triangle, because it is a confession that she’s seeing another man.
