Analysing Film Posters - 'Bridget Jones's Diary'

The fifth film poster I am going to analyse is for the romantic comedy 'Bridget Jones's Diary' starring Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

The poster contains the following conventions:

• tagline (which references genre and narrative)
• title of the film which is the largest copy on the poster
• billing block towards bottom of the poster
• names of key stars
• reference to other similar films by the producers
• rating (R)
• production company logos
• sound logos
• dominant central image of main character(s)
• reference to genre through mise-en-scene and colour scheme
• reference to merchandise (soundtrack, book)
• social media/website
