The film I have chosen to analyse is Love Actually this film genre is rom-com. The film itself deals with the themes of love, betrayal, family, conflict, growing up and friendship. The story is interesting as the opening scenes create an enigma effect which intrigues the audience to carry on watching and learn the backgrounds to the characters. The opening of the film can relate to the everyday person as the scene is at the arrivals gate at Heathrow airport where families are reunited. Throughout the film we follow the different characters on the run up to Christmas through different perspectives. It is edited to not stay with a character for too long, there are no other noticeable difference through filming. The characters are very stereotypical at the beginning but as the storyline developed and we learn more about each character they become more then a stereotype and you can associate with them. Example of a character which does this is Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) who is first stereotyped as a lower class office girl this is shown via her language and the way she is portrayed in the film. By the end she is family based kind, caring human being who can be related to by the general population. This film is meaningful because it shows the different ways love can be perceived in different settings and is easy to relate to.
