In what ways does your media product use, develop or

challenge forms and conventions of real media products.

By Naima Siddika Kamal

• My media product challenges form and conventions of real Rom Coms because of many factors. One factor is the character that we have introduced in the opening scene. Rather than having the female protagonist being portrayed as a beautiful femme fatale. She is seen with her hair up wearing jeans as she is in college which goes against convention as the female protagonist is supposed to look sexy which attracts the male characters towards her.

• Instead of having three females fighting over the male protagonist it is the opposite way around. This goes against convention as it is usually the female characters fighting for the male character's attention.

• Also Chase is called the “Bad boy” however he does not follow the convention of a bad boy as he does not have any visible tattoos or piercings which are often associated with bad boys.
