'What if'- Feature Length film poster (Holly)

What if
What If - Poster
The film genre is apparent right away, the location setting and the poses both characters are in make it clear to the audience it will be a romance influenced film, potentially a rom-com. The setting of a diner is a cliché location for romance movies as it hold the symbolisation of new friends or meetings. The composition of the shot with the male making the female laugh is a typical affectionate pose used in romance movies, once again showing the genre and attracting an audience.
The male character is played by Daniel Radcliffe who is a high profile actor, which as he has his own fan base, has already put together an audience for this movie, the poster already has the features of a rom-com, so an audience who prefer that type of film, usually teenagers or young adult females commonly watch romantic comedy genre.
The bright vibrant colours along with the white background contrast and make it stand out, bringing attention to the poster.
The narrative becomes clear as the audience see the tagline, and the genre now becomes clear that it'll be a romantic comedy.
The names of the actors are listed in white down the side of the picture, making them stand out, the high profile actors are nearer the top, their fan base could generate more of an audience for the film.
Overall I like the minimal vibrancy of the poster, it has a clear message to the audience as to the genre and the storyline, which is easy to attract an audience.

  1. Image is a LS inorder that both Character and setting can be seen
    Colours )red) could be synonymous with love, given the context?
    Again, note the layout conventions. The right hand justification of the actors in a line with the title and benefits and credit block and August.
    Also has conventions of release date and credit block
