Overall, from analysing the four different posters for the different romance / romantic comedy films, I've learnt about the conventions and some ideas which I could use for my poster to help make it recognisable.
1. They all used at least one image of the main actors / actresses. This shows the audience, at a glance, who is in the film and what their relationship may be to the other person in the film.
2. The actors names are normally positioned at the top of the poster or above the credits and are made to stand out by either having the last name in bold and a different colour (with no space between the first and surname). The actors that will attract more of an audience due to popularity are definately included in the poster, but also those that are the main characters in the film are included.
3. The credits of the people behind the film (such as director, producer etc...) are all positioned at the bottom of the poster and are condensed.
4. There is always a tagline which suggest more about the storyline of the film and helps to sell it to the audience. This is either positioned underneath the title of the film or placed at the top of the page by the actors names.
5. The title of the film is the largest text on the poster.
6. There is either a review or another piece of information to try to sell the film. This could include links with other successful films, i.e. from the same producer of the film ...
7. The colour scheme often has 3 main colours, these normally include black and white and sometimes red. Red is often associated with romance which would be a good colour to include.
