Codes and Conventions of a Romance genre

All romance films follow the same structure, they start off with the boy loses girl scenario and then he wins her back but through this they face obstacles are shown to be the perfect couple-this mainly appeals to the female audience. The male protagonist is the stereotypical man who turns out to be the hero and, of course, gets the girl of his dreams. The story uses emotional techniques to link to the audiences emotions by including past relationships and the typical problems couples have to deal with-for example; disapproving parents or ex's. Both of these create problems for both the male and female protagonist to overcome so they can be together and end with a happy ending.
