Ok, so I know the 1998 production of Ever After: A Cinderella Story, directed by Andy Tennant, is kind of a cheese movie, but I love it and I think it is pretty “compelling”.

Evident in filming is the use of the golden ratio, rule of thirds, and positive and negative movement. The height of the drama is in the last third of the film, demonstrating the golden ratio in how it is directed.  There is also a twist after the climax which follows the  golden ratio curve. In the first shots of the film, interesting angles are shot, such as filming from the top of the carriage (0:28) and then the handle directly after.  Also, the natural framing of the people walking up the stairs by the staircase walls(0:44) represents an artistry that allows he viewers to see this shot as aesthetically pleasing, like a picturesque old setting.

 I love when the baroness is getting out of her carriage because the closeup of the shot and the music is perfect (0:58). It simply screams snooty royalty. Also, if I ould take a still at 9:03 it would exemplify how the director is really trying to capture the  little girl’s perspetive by the low level of the camera.

The genre of this film is probably technically a drama, because it is not a parody, but a seriously written film inspired by the cinderella fairytale. The TV Tropes sight is great.  Instead of looking under Drama Tropes I decided to go under Love tropes. Then I went to the Love Interests page.  Here I found so many hilarious categories, like Action Girlfrind which could work, but in the sense of wit action rather than physical action so I kept searching. Heroes Want Redheads was pretty good, but I wanted something that emphasized the deception by the cinderella character. I think Princely Young Man works as the best because even though Cinderella is the protagonist, the main transformation is how the prince has decided to rule the kingdom and how his ideals and concerns for his people have changed.
