Close-up, medium, and long shots are the most typical camera angles. A close-up often focuses on a single item, most frequently the face of a person. It separates that thing from its surroundings and draws the viewer's focus to it. A medium shot is composed with the camera placed further away from the subject and, as a result, includes some of the surroundings that a close-up will omit. A long shot is used to convey a lot of background information because the camera is placed far from the subject.

Elements of the genre would be the funny moments it has but also how it is able to keep a online script in telling and developing a story.

Elements of the genre that don’t appeal to me would be the overuse of jokes and not having an equal balance. This has been seen before with many romances not really being romantic and mainly a comedy. It’s as if they try to fit a romantic setting over a comedy setting.
