Research and Planning 11/11

For our A2 coursework we have decided to create a teaser trailer, poster and magazine front cover for a Romantic Comedy film. We have done research into the types of teaser trailers and more specifically how posters of Rom Com films are portrayed.  The typical poster we found of Rom Com films was plain white backgrounds with brightly coloured fonts to attract the audience and make them think of romance and happiness when they look at the poster. These types of posters consist of having pictures of men and women portrayed to be in love. The posters tend to be simply but effective in the message and genre they are representing.

This poster called According to Greta is one that I researched into. As it is a typical Rom-com film which targets the same audience as what we plan to do. The layout of the poster is similar to one of our intial ideas and gave me some new ideas of how we can set out our poster. This poster has a main pciture of the character who is played by Hilary Duff and bright colours to attract the audience. The overall look of the poster also looks quite comic like and drawings which is one of the inital ideas we have.

While researching into rom-com posters these were the ones in particular that helped us to create some initial ideas for our own posters. For example The ugly truth has the picture of the characters and the use of the red hearts suggesting love and the title at the bottom of the page.
