Romantic Comedy Conventions- Life As We Know It

Below is the movie poster for the film "Life As We Know It"

• The title of the film is in red, which is typically the "colour of love", reflecting the genre
• The title and the actors names are slanted, suggesting that the two main characters lives are turned upside down in the film
• It is clear that the baby on the poster is the obstacle between the two characters, but perhaps also what brings them together in the end- the baby being on the poster shows this, and therefore reflects the genre
• The poster is a mess with items everywhere and the font slanted and so on, again showing what the obstacle between the central protagonists is 
• The actress "Katherine Heigl"is associated with many other  romantic comedies such as "The Ugly Truth"- the fact that her name is on the poster implies the genre
• The colours used on the poster are all warm colours, reflecting the tone of love and happiness
• The tagline on the poster includes the word "comedy", showing that theres romance and comedy involved in the film, suggesting its a romantic comedy
