The 3 main characters on show and are

the largest things on the poster. Theyre

also placed along the whole top third
and top intersection sections within the
rule of third.

comprised of
muted greys,
silvers and
blues.

The film title is within the bottom third

of the poster, above the tagline and
billing block . Its the largest font on the
poster.
The billing block is fairly unreadable due
to the elongated shape of the font of
the grey colour.

The content
in the middle
third of the
poster
symbolizes

(a

Several actors names are written at the

very top of the poster. The
actors/actresses are selling points of the
film itself so showing off their names is
important.

the poster.

can see the

on the

individualconscious decision made by the distributors who
colour. created the poster. It is designed so that it
doesn'tt catch the viewers eyes as their focus
should be on other features such as the film title
and characters.

While rom-com posters still follow the basic codes and

conventions they also have their own set of codes and
conventions that they incline to follow. Unlike other
posters, its not uncommon for a rom com poster to
include the film title within the top third of the poster.
Similarly to other posters the main characters are
practically always the main image. However theyre
always placed side by side and tend to only be the male
and female love interests of the film.
Names are also usually right above the character on the
poster.
The font style and colour is soft and easy on the eyes.
This goes for the entire colour scheme and background of
the poster.

Once again the tagline is found at the top of

the poster while the title is placed within the
bottom third.

Instead of
including the
directors or
producers
names they
include the
line, from
the makers
of. This is
due to the
fact that the
directors and
producers of
horror films
aren't
usually as
well known
as other
genres,
although the
names of
films theyve
worked on
will be well
known. And
people will
consider
watching
insidious if
they liked
Paranormal
Activity or
Saw for
example.

much

The red, gothic font style links to the films

genre of horror well, even the sub genre
which is a supernatural horror.

The main character(s) of a film have

always been on the poster and always
within the middle third. Animated
characters are no exception.

the

as the most

feature of

and
therefore
the film.

This poster follows the same technique as

the Insidious poster with including the
production and distributors names rather
than the actor producers or directors names.

Main character takes up the

majority of the poster, actors
name is also in clear view (gaining
audience through the actors
reputation).
