SWOT Analysis

Strengths  


Our strengths in our pitch was that we managed to find in our research that many Romantic comedies include some sort of montage at the beginning. We was told this was a good feature to use as many romantic comedies include a montage in the beginning which we felt was to introduce the characters or to find out their personalities. And sir was happy with how we had planned and had researched this idea. Sir told us that our research was effective and we knew what we was going to do with our opening because we are using some of the conventions of a Romantic comedy film. Also we as a group had confidence in the idea, and we all knew the concept. This is good because we all have many ideas for the opening sequence so we can begin to expand the best ideas from our heads. So overall i think that our best strength was that we all knew what we was doing and had confidence with our idea.


Weaknesses 


The teachers and our group agreed that our two main characters were too similar and we needed to make a clearer distinction between the two. We was going to make them different through wealth then we was told that we should make them different by there personalities because wealth wouldn't be as good a different between the two characters. So we now are making one character a school teacher and the other a high class business woman so they are now clearly different but are still good friends. This was the key weakness in our pitch and we feel that sir was pleased with the idea and research we have produced therefore we were given some things to change in order to make our opening sequence as best as it can be.

Opportunities 


Our main opportunities are that we could make a really good montage that fits the Romantic Comedy genre, if sucessful we could get the audience to understand the two characters and their personalities which is good because they canstart to relate to them. Also now by making our characters different we could really get the audience engaged with the relationship between the two women and they would want to see how there relationship will fair. To make the best romantic comedy we can we will have to, listen to what we will need to improve and do research to see what can make our opening sequence that could be the best it can be.


Threats 


The treats of our opening is that the conversation between the two women could be boring, so to make it not boring we would have to make it relevant to the story and give key information about the story. Also we would have to add something fresh to the opening so it is not the exact same as many other of the Romantic comedies there are out at the moment. When we make the montage i think the biggest threat is; it could look unprofessional so to avoid our montage looking unprofessional we will have to:

• Plan our camera angles and shots
• Use convincing actor's/actress'
• Make sure we edit the clips effectivly
• And make sure we plan in detail

If we do this we can avoid the many threats that could happen when we make our opening sequence, and by us being aware of the threats it should make us try to avoid these threats and overall our opening sequence shoud be the best it can be. We will also have to look at the strengths of our idea so far and begin to progress on them so that they become stronger and it should make our work benefit from this.
