3. Deconstruction
The main focus is on the couple
in the middle, the protagonist and
the love interest. We can tell that
they are a couple because of
how they are holding each other.
The next thing to look at is
the title, which is the
biggest piece of text on the
screen, it is also the same
font as the actors names,
which are the second
biggest piece of text.
There isn’t much of a
tagline for this film
actually, all it says is
“Inspired by true events”
which is interesting and
makes the audience think.
Here we can see the use of steel
tongs font, saying more than likely
who it was directed by and casted
by.
And here we can see the ident and a
website link for more information on
the film.
4. Deconstruction
This poster is very similar to the
last one I deconstructed, we can
see the protagonist and the love
interest framed centrally and
embracing each other.
Again the title is the largest piece
of text on the poster and draws
the most attention.
The next largest is again the
actors names.
We can also see that here they
have information on the film,
that it was based off a book
written by a well known author,
this would draw the audiences
attention and possibly
encourage them to watch it.
Again they have the catchy
tagline under the title and the
steel tongs font showing the
director and producer.
We also have a release
date for this poster and
an ident.
5. Conclusion
A lot of romance films have the same conventions for their
posters:
Two people in the centre frame usually embracing each other
A large bold and eye catching title with the actors names being
the second largest piece of text.
Steel tongs font always at the bottom of the poster listing the
director, casting director and the producer.
A catchy tagline and an ident at the bottom of the page.
