Ancillary:
I followed some conventions of a poster in the romance genre, but I also adjusted and subverted certain conventions. Through my research I found that using the colour red and having a white background are conventions because of the connotations that the colours hold, so I used white background and a lot of red in my poster for the same reason. Another convention that I adhered to was having the tagline at the top and the release date at the bottom, I did however adjust these slightly by having the font the same colour as the title and not black. I also stuck to the convention of having the credits in black at the bottom, and also showing the two names of the main actors although I chose to put them below the title instead of above for aesthetic purposes. I convention I challenged was having up to two characters shown on the poster, I chose to not use any because I think the red rose better represents my film and it also stays within a strict colour scheme. Using the two characters would give the audience more idea of the concept of the film although I chose not to use this because I wanted not corner my piece by using two white teen characters and not showing any other representations of class, ethnicity and age. By not using a model for my poster I have tried to eliminate any representational issues and aspects.
Film:
A convention that I have kept within is keeping within non-challanging representations. I have used two white teenagers, this does not show a variety in representation of ethnicity or age. I also do not have much to represent social class, but I do show different locales by having my two characters come from different places. Although, I could of had a stronger contrast in these locations by using a busy city and a rural area rather than a town.
