I think I did use a lot of the conventions that are typical in Romantic Dramas, for example the three colour palettes and the image represented the genre the will they wont they scenario instead of a boring pose in which will give away this idea straight away. Like other posters I used tag lines on one of these to add more context and some mystery behind it, which represented the posibilities. I have also shown the title and credits/release date in a similar way but I didn't do this for a specific reason, except basing it around all audience research I had looked at displayed it in this sort of way. However, for my magazine I didn't use a date or barcode but I wanted it to be specific and unique from others of the same kind but I did then stick with the sell lines and the typical banner to make it look professional and fuller on the page to draw attention of the audience, yet I didnt use straplines, because I wanted it to be like entertainment so it is straight to the point, giving it away everything you want it to give away. I used the image as the central focus on both print products as this is mainly what people look at so I place it in the center of the page each time. I changed and adapted my products to make them unique but I used 'Reel Film' title but I didn't want this layout as that is more full and action packed, whereas not romance. The trailer challenged conventions of romantic dramas whereas the print products did not really do this, but they show continuity. The main reason I made them unique, yet somewhat similar is due to findings from my audience research that people did not want just another similar romantic drama, it needed to be unique yet I wanted to follow some conventions as this is proved as successful.
