Research in to two possible genres i may use;

Romance;

The genre conventions of a romance;
There is usually soft lighting or natural light to create a reality effect to the film and storyline. The music is commonly slow and soft and relating to the characters in the film to create an atmosphere. 

Typical characters in the romance genre consist of two main characters who are male and females and are commonly big stars to help sell the film, usually there is a male or female character who disrupts their relationship and also parents and family who are either for or against their relationship.
Common props are gifts such as flowers and jewellery given to usually the main women character from a love interest. 

The settings for romances are usually in big city's such as New York where the characters lives are fun and busy or the opposite, this could be because it links the film to reality and that it shows what the characters are like by where they are living and if they are wealthy or not.

Costumes can consist of smart clothing for example at a wedding or a party as well as pj's and cosy clothes as the couple laze around together. Camera angles are usually quite plain, there is usually close ups on couples as the kiss or tracking if they are arguing and the camera is always steady. 

Key studios for the romance genre are Warner Brothers, New Line cinema, Spy Glass Entertainment, Universal Pictures and Studios along with many more.

Audiences generic pleasures consist of being happy for the couple when things finally work out for them after make it or break it situations which test their relationship and also people may leave hoping that they would meet someone like the characters or that their life will pan out like that in the future. The demands for romances are that they create a good storyline and an ending that is realistic enough for people to believe it could happen.

Distribution routes for a romance would be to create a trailer with the aspects of the film which will grab the audiences attention and attract them to the storyline, also i think that character trailers work best for romances because they give the audience a hint of what the characters like, where they are from and possibly their lifestyle and how that would link them in to the other love interest within the film. The best and common exhibition for romances would be to show the film in mainstream cinemas but also some romances appear to be shown in art house cinemas such as cinema city to depending on what the storyline entails.
