How to lose a guy in 10 days:
In the titles, there are cutouts of fashion magazines which indicates that the film is a Rom-Com. Also, the pop music represents its a bubbly film related to love because most pop songs are sung about love. Soft rounded font stereotypes the film to be aimed at the female audience. There is a stereotype nowadays of blonde hair girls being quite dumb, but this film contradicts this, as the blonde haired girl plays the role of a smart magazine reporter who works for 'composure' magazine. Magazine reporting is a niche job which suggests the movie is a fantasy to the audience, making her job in New York just a dream.There is an punk rock soundtrack blending in with the characters profile as he is on a motor bike indicating he is quite rebellious, and avoiding a traffic jam indicates he is quite bright. There is a power dressing showing the womens authority over the men. They are at the top of the business ladder, and there is a glass ceiling in jobs, these women are at the top and they can't go any higher.

Just like heaven:
The title logo (Dreamworks) has a non diegetic sound over it, and this sound is an acoustic guitar which portrays it to be quite a calm and romantic film. The titles fade in and the bright colours are similar to the other film. The camera floating down from the sky could be the POV of heaven, and it floats down to this beautiful garden with flowers which could relate to the garden of Eden. There is an anchorage where the text blends with the bright image, and then Reese Witherspoon fades onto the screen. This is because she is the most well known in the film, which gives it a strong identity. The foggy atmosphere could represent fantasy, as many Rom-Coms are. Also, there is a stereotype of women daydreaming alot, and the fog could represent a daydream. The red titles link to love, the heart and romance- most, if not all Rom-Coms have red titles. Both women in the films are intelligent as Reese Witherspoon plays the role of a nurse, Kate Hudson plays the role of a reporter. Both jobs are aspirational. The songs in both films are ironically the same (Lust for Life by Iggy Pop) which is a key comparison we can make. Witherspoon says 'all you have to do is worry about work' which indicates she is career motivated, and can also imply she is single and family isnt important to her. There is a shot which shows the male superiority in the nursing trade though, as the other the shoulder shots shows the manager/head of ward giving Witherspoon a promotion.
