Dear Moderator, My name is Lauren Mason and welcome to my blog. It is a record of the work undertaken as part of the G321 AS Foundation Portfolio within the OCR GCE course in Media Studies. I worked together with Grace Ryan to produce a film opening in the romantic-crime genre. The project lasted four months, commencing in September 2016 and finishing in March 2017. I hope you enjoy my work and find it both successful and interesting. Please use the navigation bar to access my work as organised into labels: Actors, locations, costumes & props, audience research, extra filming and editing, film opening research, planning, post production, preliminary tasks, film opening and evaluations. There is also a link to the St Marys School blog hub. Yours faithfully Lauren Mason

These are some important sounds which are relevant to my genre - romantic crime. 1. Gun shot sounds are typically found in crime films when there is a lot of action taking place.

Throughout rom-coms, sounds of birds are typically used as they are peaceful and can be used to symbolise the happiness in the relationship and the love. 3. Commonly in rom-coms, the sound of fireworks is used, as love between two protagonists is shown. 4. In crime movies, the sound effect of screeching tyres is commonly used to represent a criminal trying to escape or a police officer racing after a criminal / trying to get to a destination.
