ROMCOMRomcom – stands for Romantic Comedy. These films are light-hearted, humours
plotlines, cantered on romantic ideals such as that true love is able to overcome most
obstacles .
Romcom films are sub-genre of comedy films as well as of romantic films, and they
may also have elements of screwball comedies and stoner comedies. Romcom films
main audience are women in their teens and older, Romcom movies are described as
chick-flick, Romcom movies attract women because due to the romantic pursuit and
the happy endings which women enjoy to watch very much. Romcom films are liked
for many reasons such as easy to watch, main characters good looking, have an happy
ending and it’s there are movies that can make you Laugh and Cry and the same time.
The image is in the centre, making it the focus of the poster, and the
image helps convey to the audience what the characters are like. The
women, Katherine Heigl is in a red dress, and this is a code of films
signifying danger, but her expression contradicts it as she is smiling
and happy, and it conveys to the reader that maybe she is dangerous
for Gerard Butler, as he is shown as being a bit of a womaniser, it
suggests how she is dangerous to his bachelor life and will stop it, the
dress and shoes are very smart, and this suggests that maybe she is a
career woman, and this also reflects the target audience for the film as
it is aimed at career women. The barriers also represents that she
cannot break his wall. Yet again the female audience would get the
impress that if this woman can make this man fall in love him they can
make any man fall in love with them after watching it.
The actor (Katherine) is holding her heart next to her
head, and this conveys to the audience how she is
sensible, and professional, as she thinks with her head,
and the heart represents how the people she is
attracted to are also smart, and think with their head,
and she values intelligence over looks. This would
attract a lot of female audience since they feel they
can relate to situation like this
Gerard Butler is holding is heart on his pants,
and this immediately conveys him to be a
womaniser, as it suggests that he just thinks
with his pants, and the wall represents how
opposite they are, as he thinks with his pants,
and just values appearance and is very shallow,
whereas she values intelligence. The audience
might feel they had experienced this can of
behaviour in their relationships making them
intrigued to watch it.
The title is in bold, black letters, and this is a
convention of film posters as the titles of most posters
are in bold as they stand out more, and as the
background is white the black really pops and draws
your eyes straight to the title, the word 'ugly' is bolder
than the other words, and this suggests that this is the
main theme of the film, people lying, and how it is ugly
when you lie. The title would attract it’s female
audience as well as male because people would want
to known what the ‘ugly truth’ means
The smart suit also reflects how he is bachelor,
as in Romcom womanisers are often in smart
suits, in good jobs, and he is so the poster shows
him to be the stereotypical womaniser.
The image also represents the audience for the
film, as most Romcom are aimed at women,
but the poster shows that their are two main
protagonists a man and a woman, and this
suggests that the film is aimed at both men
and women.
The film poster has the names of the stars at the top of the poster, this is a
convention of film posters who have big name stars in it, as it attracts people to
the film, because if they're very popular stars fans will come and see the film to see
and also the actors fans may not like the film they're in or want to go and see it,
but if they like these actors they may go see it just because they're in it. Also
Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are known as Romcom actors, and are probably
the best Romcom actors, so putting these two together appeals to many fans.
The credits on the film poster are
in grey, and this follows the colour
theme of the poster, but they're in
grey as it doesn't stand out as
much against the white
background then the black does.
Analysis a Romcom Movie.
ACTION MOVIESAction movies are is a film genre in which a hero are put to the test in series of challenges that usually include violence, extreme fight scenes, physical feats, chases. Action
movies usually have protagonist that struggles against odds these may include life threatening situations, a villain or a pursuit. A lot of people enjoy watching action movies
however, its core target audience is male, male usually go see action movies with their friends (male) as action movies contain things that are stereotypically masculine for
example car chases, explosion, gun fights, vest fight and blood. The majority of characters in action movies are male, so this attracts a male audience.
These three men, they all look very muscly and have
guns this makes them very masculinity so the
audience feel intrigued and think this is a film with
guns and car.
The colours are pretty plain but the sky
makes everyone stand out because of
its brightness. This suggests to the
audience that most of the film will be
outside.
the guns and the car also the lighting affect
of the shot is also very action, a lot of male
audience like these gadgets so would go
watch it.
Put all the actors from the pervious
fast and furious are back to do the
fifth sequel. A lot of male audience
would a movie with the same actors
because they already known a little
bit about their story life.
Instead of writing ‘fast and furious five’ the
audition is already aware of the name of the
movie so they wrote ‘FAST FIVE’ using one F
this is very effective to the audience.
The clothing of the meals shows their masculinity ,
by wearing the tight tops, the heavy boots and the
trousers. This would attract the male audience
because this is something they might want to wear
to show their muscles.

Disney:
Disney films target audience are children and what attracts these children to the posters to watch the film is
the use of the bright colours, most of these colours are primary colours they use specific colours such as vibrant
and upbeat colours to attract their audience (kids). The characters that feature in Disney films are usually split
into two, we always have the good character and the bad, they also have characters in which the children can
relate to for example it might be a shy character, friendly, picky, happy one. The background is always of the
fairy-tale setting, majority of the time it’s the main setting of where the film is set. Disney films use low level of
violence in poster they might just saw swords or other harmless objects. Lastly, in Disney posters we never see
only one character but bunch of them they can be a group of friends or acquaintances, this is done so the
children have more stuff to look at also Disney films promotions friendship and happiness.
War films target audience are adult males, on
the posters are usually dull colours, and feature
a male solider and sometimes the rest of his
army in the background. The props used in the
posters are guns and other war weapons to let
their target audience know that it’s a war film.
War posters also show violence for example in
the poster ‘The Hurt Locker’ the building is on
fire, while the soldiers are lying around. This is
to show that this is how war ruins everything.
War films use effective titles to grab the
audience attention.
