After looking for film posters which feature romantic films it appears to be very hard, the only Total Film magazine cover that shows a romantic film is this one. However it is a foreign magazine cover and is written in Turkish. Sarah Jessica Parker is the main focus of this magazine cover and this is due to the fact she has the main role within the film. Sarah Jessica Parker plays the main role of Carrie in the series and film of Sex and the City so she is extremely well known and a strong icon for the movie. This is why her image is used to advertise the film on the magazine cover.
In this second magazine cover I found it shows all of the girls from the film, however this isn't a film magazine but
is an entertainment magazine. This is an issue that seems to occur and the film magazines only shown the action and horror films. So this is something I will address when making my magazine and i will create a special romantic edition. Again in this magazine cover it shows Sarah Jessica Parker center of the picture, she has no text over her face and is in full view for the readers. As again she is a main focus points for the film.
The colours that are used on this cover are very symbolic of Sex and the City as black and pink iconic for the film. This is the branding for the film and is recognisable part of the film. These are also used throughout the trailer and also the poster. These colours may also represent the romance element as pink is very symbolic of romance and love. These colours however aren't used in the above magazine cover maybe because it is being used for another country and this is something that they would recognise. Also because Total Film mainly targets a male audience so Sarah Jessica Parker is shown in a more provocative pose, whereas the Entertainment magazine is more for the female audience and this shows the colours and this image focuses on Fashion and the four woman's power. However there is some red used for the title of the film on the first magazine cover and this may represent the romance element and be symbolic for the reader.
This is the film poster for the film and this again shows the iconic colours for Sex and the City and the title is in pink and very sparkly which is appealing to the female audience. This could also represent the romance element as pink is also symbolic of love and romance. This is something we should think about when creating our own magazine and poster as it will be around Valentines day.
Again using Sarah Jessica Parker as the main focal point of the film poster it is attracting the male audience. Sarah's name is shown clearly at the top above her picture showing she is the main part with in the film. The other actresses that are staring in the film have their names further down near to the film title, however they are a lot smaller. Fashion is also shown to be very important here as we see she is wearing a posh blue dress and necklace and this will appear to the female audience.
This is something which was also shown on the second magazine cover as the four girls were all wearing very posh and smart dresses and this shows that the fashion theme alongside the romance element and these work well together to attract the audience and is something we should think about maybe using a hybrid genre to ensure that it will be something which attracts our target audience.
Th
e trailer for the film continues this theme on and the titles and shown in the same pink glittery text that is on the poster and this creates a link. This is also linking to the romance theme that is prominent throughout the film. The setting for the trailer is in New York and this is also a iconic part for the film as Sex and the City is well know for the glamorous setting of New York. This is also shown in the film poster as Carrie is shown with the trade mark New York cab in the background. On the trailer the first shot of the film is showing the New York Landscape. We also see alot of shots of Carrie which again links to all of the magazine covers and the poster as the trailer focuses around Carrie too. Carrie is mainly narrating over the trailer which also represesnts the film as this is what Carrie does throughout the movie. However there is also different clips from the film with conversations from there. We see alot of shots with Carrie but towards the end we see all of the four girls together and it shows that they are all still together.

All of the text that is on the trailer is either highlighted or pink and this carries on the theme of Romance and love. This element is shown across the whole advertising for the film.
Sex and the city is very iconic within the romance genre and this is shown through the different elements, by the use of Synergy such as the advertising colours, black and pink, tha actress Sarah Jessica Parker and the narration over the trailer.
