planning- inspirations for our opening.

Quite a few films have inspired us to do our opening. We thought that doing a film from the males POV would make it a lot more quirkier and not the same as most rom/coms.

Male POV rom/coms include;

Forgetting Sarah Marshall- Peter has split up from a long term relationship with actress Sarah Marshall. To deal with the break up he takes a holiday to Hawaii hoping to get over his ex girlfriend, but to his surprise when he's there he sees Sarah, with her new boyfriend..

500 Days of Summer- Tom Hansen falls head over heels for a woman who doesn't believe in love. Tom discovers that the pair have plenty in common despite the fact that she's seemingly out of his league. Tom believes deeply in the concept of soul mates, and he's finally found his. Unfortunately for Tom, Summer sees true love as the stuff of fairy tales, and isn't looking for romance. Undaunted and undeterred by his breezy lover's casual stance on relationships, Tom summons all of his might and courage to pursue Summer and convince her that their love is real

Films about dating experiences;

Beauty and the Briefcase- Determined fashion journalist Lane Daniels weighs love against ambition while researching the Cosmopolitan cover story that could make or break her career. An aspiring writer who has always dreamt of penning a cover story for Cosmo, Lane makes a pitch to editor Kate White for an article entitled "Switching Careers to Find Love." Incredibly, Kate gives Lane the green light, instructing her to first seek out a corporate job, and commence dating as many of her co-workers as possible. In no time, Lane is punching the clock, and juggling boyfriends. But while Tom  and Seth are both plenty of fun, charming music producer Liam is the guy who really drives Lane wild. Trouble is, Liam doesn't work in Lane's office, so he's strictly off-limits. Now, with her biggest career goal finally within grasp, Lane must choose to follow her heart, or give in to ambition.

Films with a montage about love;
We thought a montage about the characters dates would be effective and help give the audience a feel to how bad his dates actually were. These films include montages about love which describe the characters relationships.

Twilight- Bella has a flash back at her and Edwards relationship questionning whether their relationship is worth putting on the edge, and shows how much they love eachother.

Up- The montage of Ellies and Mr Frederickson's past together before she died is romantic and is enough to get the audience to cry before the film starts, this draws the audience in.
