As well as a trailer, a film poster was also created for "Four Weddings and a Funeral". Here is the poster:There are many different elements of this film poster that make the film look appealing to the target audience.
Colour
The colours of this film poster fit in with the conventions of ‘love’ because there is a lot of red that is used for the text, such as the names of the main characters and also for the tag line. This tells the audience that the genre of the film will be romance. The rest of the colours in this film poster are natural colours and give the impression of a romantic city such as Paris. The colours of the main characters also stand out from the page because this tells the audience to look out for these 2 characters as they are very important to the plot of the film.
Images
The images of this film poster have the conventions of romance because the two main characters on the film poster are happy and smiling. This shows that they are happily in love, however, their eyes don’t quite show full happiness and this could suggest to the audience that there is a secret twist to the film. The background of the film poster also says a lot about the film although there isn’t much of it. It also suggests romance because it looks like a romantic city and also backs up the name of the film, “Four Weddings and a Funeral”, because of the church and this is where these types of events are held. These images suggest a narrative as well as the tag line.

Title
The title of the film, “Four Weddings and a Funeral” stands out from the rest of the context of the page as it is bright yellow and has a red heart next to it, this represents love. It follows the conventions of a movie poster because it is central on the page; it is bigger than any other text on the page. However, it isn’t capitalised like most titles of a film poster. The font of the title is quite wacky and cartoonish and this represents the comedy side of the film. Underneath the title there is also another short tag line and this also tells the audience that the film is a comedy and a romance.

Famous Actors
At the top of the page, there is the name of the two main characters of the film, one of which is a well-known American actress to attract the American audience, and this tells the audience who will be in it to attract them more to the film. They are also in the colour red which suggests that they fall in love with each other.

Tag Line
The tag line “He’s quite engaging. She’s otherwise engaged” tells the audience alot about the plot of the film. The tag line suggests that the couple fall in love but the woman is already with somebody else. The tag line is also centred on the page so it is one of the first things the audience reads apart from the title, however, the colour of the tag line blends in with the black on the image and this therefore makes it harder to read and makes it stand out less.

Commendation
On this film poster there is no commendation from any media institutions (for example, a quote or a star rating system) and therefore this does not back up how good the film is to the audience because there is no one telling them how good the film is. Therefore it is left to chance for the audience to find out for themselves how good the film is rather than relying on a commendation.
