After looking at a few romantic comedy opening sequences, I’ve noticed some common ways titles are used to show the genre. One main feature is upbeat music playing over the titles, which makes the film feel fun and positive straight away. The titles also often use bright, bold colours, making them stand out and match the happy tone of rom-coms. Another common thing is the use of cursive or playful fonts, which links to love and relationships. All of these features work together to clearly show the audience that the film is a romantic comedy and set the tone from the start.
