Promotional Packages of Successful Romantic Comedies

Today, I have been looking at specific romantic comedies and their whole promotional packages including their trailer and their film poster. Previously, I looked at films like Titanic and Twilight which was useful, but now, I have narrowed down my research to only looking at romantic comedies as this is the genre of my trailer. I have found this EXTREMELY useful as I can see how the codes and conventions of romantic comedies are incorporated into both their trailer and their film poster, giving off an all-round professional and successful effect. I believe the excellence of the trailers and the film posters has aided to their successful nature with the amount of money each film below has grossed. this has helped me further in thinking about my trailer and how I'm going to film and edit my footage and then finally put it all together. This research has also helped me to think further ahead about my ancillary products of my film poster and my magazine front cover which are also just as important as the trailer in creating the full promotional package.
