This poster for the film Titanic effectively represents the romantic genre in several conventional ways. The main image shows two people dancing closely, conveying romance. It also features the Titanic in the background, symbolizing the conflict and obstacle in the story. The layout places the title in large, feminine serif font at the top to stand out, and includes text about the director and film details at the bottom, following standard conventions. The color scheme uses blues, reds and pastels to create a romantic sunset setting and contrast the bright white font against the dark background appropriately for the romantic target audience.
