Analysis of Romance Film - The Last Song



  • another genre we were thinking about doing our film on was romance. the film the last song is a drama/romance.

  • A drama centred on a rebellious girl who is sent to a Southern beach town for the summer to stay with her father. Through their mutual love of music, the estranged duo learn to reconnect.

  • most of the film is filmed in a beach house, we could film somewhere near a beach although it would be difficult to access all the time. 

  • the film also has a relationship between a teenage boy and girl, this would be easy to achieve as the people we are thinking of having in our film are all around the age of 16/17.
  • the film has long takes, this gives the audience time to think and allow them to sympathise with the character. it also has close ups to see the characters feelings and cross cutting which shows all the different characters and their lifes.
  • there is slow motion and different clips are merged together to show a long period of time shortened so you can see what has happened in a short space of time (ellipsis). these are accompanied by dissolves and music to made it flow and put the audience in a relaxed mood. we could use this technique in our film.
