Research and planning: Film poster analysis 2

Genre

• You can tell again that this poster is advertising a romance film.
• The colours of the poster are your stereotypical love colours, red and white which symbolise  what kind of genre this film is going to be.
• The expression on the womans face looks very joyful and happy with shows that the story is going to be fun and entertaining.

Representation

• The actor is a middle age, attractive woman.
• Her facial expression could mean two things from the poster and her positioning, she could either be in a very happy situation where she is loved up or she could be causing trouble within the film as she is looking down on photographs smiling so this will attract the audience.
• Her body language looks like she is incontrol of the film and she is a main actor and all the other actors are just placed in a photograph.

Media Language

• The close up of the womans face in the image allows us to recognise that she is the main character and is incontrol of the film and from her facial expression you cant tell what her character is going to be like.
• The colours are plain and like any romance film usually, a white background with red font which makes the poster look bright.
• The lighting is very high key and the poster is very clear and looks professional, this shows that this could be a good romance story in the end as these colours resemble happiness.
• The font is also very stereotypical as it is a smooth curvy font like the font you would use in a love letter.
• The layout of the poster is very effective and unsual, as the girl looks like she has all the power and usually this is the male character so it shows that the story of the film could be very interesting.

Audience

• As it is a romance film I would say that the ages of the audience could be teenagers to middle aged woman and the primary audience would usually be females.
• Because it shows that the woman has the power this would get woman interested as they would not expect the story line to be like this and would want to see how the girl gets what she wants as then they could try and do the same as women always want power.

Narrative

• As you can see from the poster the woman is incontrol as the male actors and some of the female actors are placed in photographs with a close up image of the womans face smiling and looking at them, this could be seen as bad or good.
