Rom-Com Poster Research..

To understand what we need to include in our romantic comedy poster, we decided to do some poster research solely on Rom-COM posters. All four of these romantic comedy posters have the two main characters fronted to catch our attention, they also have the actress' and actor's names above their picture. Typically the woman is positioned on the left and the man on the right, we therefore decided to portray this on our own poster. Focussing on their names, we noticed that the last name is considerable bigger than the first, and often a different colour, we also decided to include this technique on our poster. Our colour scheme is orange and bright pink, this typically portrays the romantic comedy feeling very well, shown in the 'Faillure to Launch' poster. We also chose to keep our background plain and simple and chose white like 'The Proposal' and 'The Ugly Truth'. In these posters we noticed that the clothes the actors are wearing represent the colour scheme used on the poster, we also decided to use this convention, along with the typical tagline underneith the title. Although this is only shown on two posters, we felt that most Rom-COM's tend to have one, also that the date of release is positioned at the bottom of the poster and is not often specific. We decided to keep the typical convention of having the billing block at the bottom of the poster, which is not only shown on Rom-COM posters, but on most film posters also.
