The Last Song Poster

By the girl looking in the opposite direction to the boy, shows that she is turning her back on him or has had her hear broken by him. The expression on her face shows that it is likely to be a sad film

The simple, cursive writing shows that the film is likely to be a sad or romantic film, as a horror film for example is likely to have a big, bold text, not as simple and plain as this text on the poster.

The side of the boy’s face could be symbolising that he may not be as important as the girl, or that he has turned his back on her, possibly once being in love at some point in the film

The background of the two characters in the clouds could symbolise heaven, meaning it is likely to be a sad film. However the sunshine in the distance could be symbolising ‘light at the end of the tunnel’

The image of the man and girl hugging one another shows that they have a close relationship in the film.

The Breaking Dawn Magazine Cover

The boy and girl standing with their heads together and eyes closed symbolises romance, showing that they are in love, and so the film is likely to be a romantic film.

The background colour shows that the film is likely to be a sad or romantic film due to the calm, simple colour shining through in-between the two characters

The film name’s text is in big, bold letters, which is likely to be showing the audience that it is a romance or fantasy genre.

Love Actually Poster

The red clearly symbolising romance, as red symbolises ‘love’

The bow and what looks like a love letter, symbolising the romantic genre of the film

The colour red consistently being used and the word ‘love’ clearly telling the audience it is a romantic film

The red and white could also be telling the audience that the film is set around Christmas time, as these colours symbolise Christmas.

The white being a plain colour could symbolise purity or happiness

Love Actually Magazine

The bright pink lettering shows that the film is likely to be a ‘girly’ film, the pink is to draw the women’s attention to the magazine

The four girls standing together, their outfits all very similar and wearing big high heels, shows that the film is more for females than males.

Colour and text could symbolise romance or even comedy

The different coloured shoes could symbolise their type of character. Red meaning feisty…
