One of the main generic conventions of a romance short film is the non-diegetic sound. The sound adds intimacy to the film and allows the audience to feel more involved in the film makes them realise the love between the people even more emphatically. There is also often diegetic sound on in the film, where the actors can actually hear the music. This adds to the intensity of the scenes. Most romantic films would start off with two people, who may or may not have children of their own yet, and they are usually together but sometimes are not. They will like each other and then during the film they will have a disagreement and spend sometime apart and there will be contrasts of each other's life. The two people will then meet each other, usually by accident, and then eventually they will get back together again.
If I was to do a short film then I probably would choose the genre, romance. The reason that I think it would be simple to do is because the storyline wouldn't be that hard to think of, all that I would need is a boy and a girl and then to begin with I would have their contrasts in life and then get them to meet somehow. After this I would have to think of a disagreement that they could have. Then towards the end of the film I would have them meet again and they would fall in love.

Above is a short film that I have watched about a boy and girl who meet in a pub, it is the boy's birthday and he goes to the pub with his dad for his first legal drink. In the pub he sees a girl who he likes and she looks back at him in a way that you can tell that she likes him. His brother gives him advice, he goes over and asks her for a drink and they bond, play pool and laugh together and then at the end of the film he gets her number. However, just after this happens, it skips forward to a wedding day and it is actually the girl and the main character's brother who have got married.
