Mainstream Influences for Ancillary Task

As the genre of my film is chick flick and romance, in my research and planning I looked for mainstream film posters that I could relate to what I wanted to create. Here are some examples which helped my design my own poster.

As the genre of these films are all romantic dramas/comedies it relates with the genre of my film and I could use the ideas from these to create my poster. To set the 'romantic' element to the poster from the film the use of the colours red and pink are used a lot which indicates the genre to the audiences. Therefore in my poster I am to use these colours as the main theme to aid the audience in what the film is about. The main characters are diplayed in all these film posters which also suggests who the important characters are and allows the audience to guess the narrative of the film. As my film is only a short film, I will try to include every character on my poster so the audience have a very clear idea of the genre and maybe a guess of the narrative.
