I used the classic style of split section rom-com posters here to create a look that will remind people of the rom-com genre and attract them to the film. This will let people know what type of audience our film should be expecting and will help to create a fan base and following. Instead of using a coloured panel to split up the images of the actors as is traditionally done, I used the image of our remote with the title, "Rewind," spelled out using the buttons on the remote. I did this because I wanted to prominently feature the remote in my poster and I thought that this would be an interesting and effective way to do it. It helps to draw attention to the title and plot of our film without overshadowing the images of the actors as they are featured prominently. I positioned the actors names at the side of their images with their first names being shown in the correct order whilst their surnames are shown backwards to tie in with the themes of our film and again draw attention to the 'rewind' concept. I positioned the characters so that Emma is above Jack which shows that she has the power in their relationship and Jack is staring up at Emma to show that he is more into her than she is him.
In this poster I used the classic poster pose of 'the lean', this is used in many rom-com films to let the audience know what genre the film is and ours is no different. In the poster Jack is falling and reaching for his rewind remote while Emma is trying to stop him from falling. This again shows that she has the power as she is shown standing higher than him and is trying to save him, this is a subversion of the usual stereotype of the man saving the woman which shows that our film is interesting and different. Again the remote is featured yet this time it is not as obvious as this poster focuses more on the characters and the mistakes that they make. The actors names are featured to the side of their images and the credits are shown underneath. The title is placed at the top of the poster and has a border around it that makes it stand out and again it looks slightly remote-like. The first two letters of the title are backwards to symbolise the rewinding action that occurs throughout the film while the rest of the letters are the correct way round to show the order that occurs after the rewind. WIND is smaller than the first two letters but is underlined so that the audience know that this is the important part of the film.
In this poster I wanted to focus more on the reason Jack needs the remote- because he isn't confident with girls and therefore cannot maintain a good relationship with Emma without the use of the remote. I therefore drew them in a situation where the remote may be needed; on a bad date. The remote is shown in Jack's hand as he holds his head in his other hand to signal that the date is not going well as he has made a mistake. He is clearly about to rewind the date and this tells our audience the basic gist of our film. Emma is shown staring away from Jack clearly in a mood with him or bored of the date, she is positioned in a very cold, guarded pose and doesn't seem to want to be there, this gives the audience a view of what our characters may be like. The names of the actors are shown above their images with their first names presented in a larger font and in all capitals whilst their surnames are smaller and in lower case. I did this because I wanted to experiment in all the posters with text styles and sizes. The title is shown at the very top of the page with RE again being bigger than WIND as in the last poster.
In this poster I tried not to focus on the female character, just the character of Jack and the problems he faces. I showed the remote in his back pocket to show that he is the one in need and possession of it. I featured a couch with wine spilled on it and Jack facing away from the front with his hands placed on his head. He is clearly disappointed and worried about his mistake and is looking for a way to fix it. I thought that using no characters faces and making the poster look less complicated made it look more interesting and stylish. I think this poster looks the most professional and realistic and would work well to advertise our film. I placed the actors names beneath the title, which is the same as the previous two posters, and wrote their first names in bold to emphasise them. In this poster I included a tagline in the form of a rhetorical question to make the audience think and question the concept of the film. This would make the film more memorable and interest the audience so that they would want to see it.
