CCR Question 1

Hello everyone! Today we're going to talk about the first question for my CCR: How does your product challenge user conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

To begin answering this question, I have to discuss my conventions. Romance is for people who seek strong and real feelings, something that generates tension and emotion. It's a genre designed to make you feel emotion while also letting you know what's going to happen and how the story will end. When someone wants to watch a romance, they want to see something whose ending they already know.

I chose not to go against conventions because I feel that's what makes the story interesting. I feel that when someone decides to watch a romance, especially an "enemy to lovers" story, they want to see how the plot develops, how they go from hate to love, the process of how their feelings change, and how they themselves change their feelings as the movie unfolds. What I mean is that the viewer isn't watching an enemy-to-lovers story because of the ending, but because of the plot. The important thing isn't just that they end up together, but also how they got to that point.

The romance reinforces the portrayal of the characters involved. The enemy-to-lovers trope reinforces the idea that two very different people who don't get along can end up falling in love. This works because people like a story that's constantly moving, and in this genre, something changes every minute. It's exciting to see the plot develop, to see how, little by little, these two people who hated each other fall in love. This genre transforms extreme tension, hatred, and deep conflicts into intense passion, offering an addictive character arc. This works because of the contrast between the beginning and the end of the film.
