We really liked the two simple pictures that focused on the two main characters faces. Showing expressions that fitted their personalities. The fact it's pictures of both a woman and man, tells the audience that straight away it's going to be a love story.
The font is simple but effective, the colour red captures the audience and emphasizes certain words. The flower gives the poster a girlier feel, but doesn't give the impression that it's not something boys could enjoy too. I think it's subtle but effective as it pays that little bit more attention to the female audience, the kind of audience who are more likely to see the film.
We also looked at a very similar poster from another Rom Com called 'The Holiday':
Once again it follows the classic conventions of a Romantic Comedy poster. The two pictures show loved up couples who are the main characters. The font is simple but pretty and overall it captures the essence of what the film is about.
Although we could have gone for the classic 'lean' convention that is shown in many film posters such as 'Pretty Woman', we dicided that the this theme often shows seductivity or immaturity in characters, which is not what we want to convey. We want to convey a mature relationship that is based on love.
Along with the poster we are currently creating we are looking at creating a poster similar to that of '500 days of Summer'..
This is because we like the idea of multiple pictures that build up an essence of character in the poster. We also have alot of fantastic photos from our photo shoot that would be a shame to waste as they have a lot of potential. After playing around, we quickly came up with a very ROUGH copy, just to get an idea..
