Romantic Comedy Conventions- The Ugly Truth

Below is the movie poster for the film "The Ugly Truth"

• Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler have both appeared in other romantic comedies such as "Life As We Know It" and "The Bounty Hunter" and therefore are associated with the genre
• Red is a prominent colour on the poster, reflecting love and the genre
• The font on the poster is lower case and rounded, which is common on a romantic comedy poster as seen before
• There is a division between the two central protagonists, again showing that there is an obstacle preventing them from being together
• The male character is staring lovingly at the female character, suggesting there is romance between them
