The first film is, The Best of Me, a romance film based around tow young childhood sweethearts who get back together in their small home town after being years apart.
The poster, very much reminds me of a novel, as it is based on a novel then I suppose that is correct. The couple at the bottom of the poster are in a romantic embrace which suggests love and passion, almost like a still from a dance they are doing. The top couple, the huge heads at the top, signifying are the most important characters in the film, the expressions on their faces look of struggle and an intense emotion, but could also be read as passionate. The writing being the couple, that is lit up by a back light, is kind of a bit creep almost like it is hiding being the trees, watching..but that is just my opinion. A very photo heavy poster, with just the typography being not photography. It is also alot more text based then posters i have seen previously.
The next film is The Fault In Our Stars, released earlier this year, is a tear wrenching romantic film about two young teens who are battling their own different cancers, who fall in love after meeting at a cancer support group.
I do kind of like this poster, I think it is quite tastefully done. by keeping them young and teen like - them lying on the grass shows youth and fun. Having their heads embraced but with their eyes closed shows warmth and love, but not in a in your face obvious way. I think it is innocent in that they are just holding each others heads just enjoying being together. The font is in keeping with the font that is on the original novel, which i think is a nice touch - relating the film to the book which will confirm those that have read the book that the film is based on that. The tag line is something to be debated about "one sick love story" some have found it a bit disturbing and not very clever. But it you take it as a literal meaning one. sick. love. story, then this is exactly what the film is about one couple who are both sick and their love story.
The Note Book, a film based on a novel about a young poor man who falls in love with a rich young woman, who longs for freedom of which he gives her, but they get separated by their social differences.
The poster consists of the a photograph of the two main characters is a romantic embrace, which is showing the love they have for each other, and gives the audience the idea of a romance film. The colours used for the poster, using soft colours, represents romance and sorrow. The title of the film is bold and prominent in the foreground, with the names of the actors and actresses that are in the film, though the two main characters are named and on the posters, there are other well-known characters which will help entis more people to go watch the film. The tag line - from the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks", gains the audience's attention, and draws them in, the idea of it being based on a novel suggests that it will have a good strong story line behind it.
The Great Gatsby, a tragic romantic love story seen through the eyes of a writer, who gets caught up in his neighbours world, Jay Gatsby, who is surrounded by wealth and people who has built a very powerful empire, but the writer soon sees the cracks appear in this man's vasard which reveals, obsession, madness and a very sad tragedy.
The film poster is part of a big collection, of which is shows each character in a similar way, but portraying their character through the costume, and the way they are posed. They all compliment each other, by using the same dark tones and simplistic layount. Though not immedicately eye grabbing, the twisted and over lapping pattern behind, does. I think this poster gives nothing away leaving a mysterious atmosphere. The medium shot of the main character, DiCaprio highlights the ear this film is set, by shwoing the four piece suit, suggesting power and a high status (this is also shown in the way he stands, with his hands closed together in front - maybe keeping his guard up, protecting himself). The black suit with a bow tie also suggests romance.
