For the Romantic comedy genre I have chosen: Pretty woman (1990)
Codes and conventions
The codes and conventions within this film poster are the title, and the credits of the film, the main actors names and the header. The header explains that 'She walked off the streets into his life and stole his heart' this tells the audience that the film is Romantic and and interesting, persuading them to watch it.

Audiences
Because of the stereotypical fact that woman are more interested in Romantic comedy's than men I think that the target audience is most likely going to appeal to women rather than men.

Colours
The Bold pink text fits in well with the feminine title of the film 'Pretty Woman'. The white background helps the dark colours of the characters clothes stand out.
Lighting
High key lighting is used to show that it is mostly an upbeat and happy romantic comedy for example if low key lighting was used the image and text wouldn't stand out and it would give the poster a more gloomy morbid feel to the target audience.

Characters
The two main characters take up most of the space on the poster, the woman is stood in a voyeuristic position and isn't wearing many items of clothing which represents to the audience that she is a prostitute and because the male character is wearing a smart suit they get the idea that he is a wealthy man and they make an unusual couple to be together therefore this makes the film look interesting without even reading what it is about.
