Analysis of my Genre (Romantic Comedy) - Angus, Thongs and perfect snogging


  • The title and font style: In swirly white font which is girly and could also represent a teenage girls handwriting. The writing is also large and takes up half of the screen, this catches the audiences attention.

  • Title of film: The title makes the audience ask questions, they want to know who Angus is and they also want to know why the things in the title are so significant to the film, the title also indicates it's going to be about a girl.

  • How the setting/ location is revealed: The main character is running home and you get to see where she lives, there are lots of different shot types, high angle, low angle, establishing, these all help to show the audience where the film is set.

  • Costume and props: Georgia is dressed as a stuffed live to go to a fancy dress party, this costume is important as she embarrassed herself because everyone else is dressed differently which indicates that there could be more embarrassing moments for her in the rest of the film. It could also indicate the comedy side to the film.


  • Interesting camera work/ editing: Low angle shot helps to show that she's angry and annoyed this is affective as it makes the audience feel sorry for her and feel pathos for the character. It also shows that she's vulnerable and emphasizes the fact she's a teenager and that this film is going to be about her and her problems as a teenager.

  • Story and how the opening sets it up: Georgia is walking to a party with her dad in the car next to her, they have a conversation which informs the audience about whats happening and why she's dressed like that, it also gives some information about the characters.


  • Genre of the film and how it suggests it: The film is a Romantic Comedy this is suggested by the fact that the main character embarrassed herself at the party straight away it indicates that the film is going to be funny. Also the fact that when she talks to her friends they say; 'boy's don't like girls for funniness' this shows that the girls are looking for a boyfriend.
