The image has a major                                                the quantity of text is kept

Images to represent
  the different actors

The loveheart image
creates a bit of fun for
the audience – as it fits
into the rom-com
genre

The title of the film
is the most largest
text on the poster
to make it clear.
  Credits at the
  bottom of the
  screen
New Idea for the Film Poster
• Include the main character as the centre of attention
• Also, include the 4 dates that are apart of the film but
  colour code them to show that they represent different
  foods (although, the audience do not know this yet) –
  they just see them as 4 different guys
• Similarly to The Break-Up poster, it represents them
  separately which influences our ideas
• Not include too much text, a tagline which puts the film
  into perspective
• We will also include the credits at the bottom of the
  screen as this fits in with the conventions
