Romantic drama film posters analysis

The contrast between the two shots used here are unmistakable, on the top half it depicts a scene set against the new york skyline, which appears to have been photoshopped.The use of the location  portrays this romantic ideology of New york being the perfect place, where 'dreams come true'.The use of airbrushing is evident, as each feature appears defined and perfect in every manner.The lighting has a slight sepia effect which makes it seem quite old fashioned emphasized by the costume choices of a beanie and stripey scarf , giving a sense of nostalgia, a recurring theme often associated with the romance genre. The use of the brown font that declares ' best American drama of the year' has been critiqued by a Hollywood reporter and often you will find that poor films have been quoted by unrecognisable figures in the film industry in order to give an illusion that it really is the best American drama when in reality it probably isnt.The postures of the characters are also intriguing to note , as the male protagnist leans away from the female, who is merely looking down suggesting that he will be unfaithful to her a common stereotype often depicted in romantic dramas.In contrast to this is the lower part of the poster where the new couple is embraced passionately, very much intimate contact.The location is also fairly significant as you note the homeliness of the setting with the warm lighting and array of pictures.This suggests that they are comfortable with each other and like the title ' two lovers' infers they are having a secret relationship.As there is use of famous actors the names juxtapose the two contrasting scenes which suggests that this will be its unique selling point.

This is an intrigingly different poster for a romantic genred film, suggesting that is is subverting against the norms and characteristics that is usually associated with this genre.This is clearly emphasized by the use of art work that has been used here through the watercolour imprint background, with a tint of blue.This has been used perhaps to demonstrate that this is no ordainairy love story, that perhaps it contains betrayal, unrequitted love? This of course is elements which are incooperated in our own film so we should do something original also but not so out there that it looks unauthentic.Unlike the other poster it is simplistic in its demise suggesting that the poster is not neccesarily to promote financial success( though the cast listing on the poster may prove otherwise) but instead like a postmodern film, its aim is to be critically successfull.The block caplitals used for the title 'Jane Eyre' is simplistic in its design, simply coloured in white to stand ut against teh page to grab the readers attention.
