Initial Poster idea

Researching on film posters has really helped us to get an idea of what we wanted to include in ours. As a convention, we wanted out audience to spot straight away that is a romcom.

From our research we knew it was absolutely vital for our audience to be familiar with the main character, and understand their roles as being important. As we can see on the image the two character have a gap between them on the bench, we did this because we wanted to suggest conflict and an idea of a 'love/hate relationship' and this is a typical convention of romcoms. Also another convention that we stuck to is leaving the billing block and the date at the bottom although we have seen some romantic comedy film poster's challenge this convention. We decided the title of our film should be next to the two characters on the bench because we wanted to emphasis on the idea that their relationship its imperfect for us as audience however perfect for them. As a group we decided to put the tag line "love makes the imperfect perfect" because it really explains our story about a girl finding perfection in the most imperfect guy. Unlike our thriller movie last year, we knew putting the tag line at the top would give people an idea of what the movie is about and audience of romcoms expect see some conventions kept, they want to be able to identify the movie as a romcom.

later on we decided that separating the two character on the bench would contradict the title, instead we decided that we will show the males character's imperfection in the poster through his dressing. We decided to date the release of our film in summer 2011 because most film poster do not give the exact date of release. We also gave our character star names so that our audience will be able to identify them and this is what we found in our audience research, that some people will go to watch a romantic comedy film if they like and know the stars in it.
