Research on rom com film posters



In this poster for 'Bridget Jones The Edge Of Reason' there are stereotypical female colours used in the titles of the film such as pink and purple, these are used to emphasise the gender that this film is directed at. In the picture at the bottom of the page Bridget Jones is in the middle of two men, this shows that there is going to be conflict between these two men and that the main femaile character is going to be torn between these two men in the film. The tag line uses the rule of three a common feature in film posters, 'Big lawyer Big liar Big problem'. The handwritten effect represents Bridget writing in her diary.






When looking at this film poster you can see that the picture is the main focus of this film poster. You can see that these two characters are going to be the main characters in the film and you can also see that there is a connection between these two characters but because they are standing back to back of each other shows that there is going to be a problem between the pair. The grey background empasises the red bold writing of the title.




'Date Movie' is a spoof rom com and also a parody of other films such as 'Napoleon Dynamite'. The red background and bold, black font used for the title breaks the conventions of most other rom com posters. The symbols such as 'unrated' and the pants on the A in 'Date' are symbols and shows that the film is going to have sexual connections.

  1. Some good analysis Charlotte, but you need to add some posters and analysis which are not the same as any one else in your group.
