Iconography

Iconography
Within certain genres, we expect to see certain things and objects that represent them.  
In the romantic comedy genre, there is a variety of things that are expected to be seen on the posters. Seen on most rom-com posters, there is a light colour scheme that has been used. Typically, this scheme consists of a selection of different reds, pinks blues and white. The backgrounds of rom-com posters are very minimalistic with 1 block colour, usually being white or another colour of a very light shade. Also featured on the poster of the movie is the title which is commonly presented in block writing, fitting in with the colour scheme of pinks, reds and blues. On all rom-com posters, there is a man and a woman, the main characters, who are normally stood back to back or side to side. The outfits they are seen in is mostly casual with the use of some formal, more glamorous outfit choices occasionally.
