Chick flicks usually have a strong female cast, or at least a female cast. Our film had one female main character and four sub main characters, by having this, it is clear to the audience as to who it should appeal too not just making it clear what the film is about.
The film is largely based around the main character, Sam, and the trailer followers her too, therefore we have stuck to the convention of their being a central protagonist. She is the character that the audience likes, sympathises with and is happy with as you follow her through through her adversities.
There is also an element of overcoming, in our case, Sam has to deal with the nerds, eventually becoming friends with them. This is in fact the obstacle, whether or not she will stay enemies or give in to her better self.
Unlike other chick flicks our film doesn't include a love interest purely because it's about getting what you want in terms of a future for yourself. It could be a feministic view, that isn't always depicted in chick flicks for young girls as it's always about 'getting the boy' which is where we have decided to change that.
Camera angles such as mid shot, close up, POV are used which are typical of any film in any category.
Voice over is a popular tool when it comes to chick flicks, you often have a narrative telling the audience what is going on or what the main character is thinking. We have interpreted this by having a voice of in the trailer, asking questions to the audience and bringing them into the situation in the trailer itself.
