Research and Planning: About Time


The other day I went to see new romance film 'About Time' in the cinema, the film itself was amazing, heartbreaking and lovely all at the same time and I think that the posters and trailers suit the film perfectly using the right colours and moods. The film follows a young man who discovers on his 21st birthday that he has the power to time travel, but even though the idea of this 'un natural' thing might put people off watching the film, it makes the time travel believable by him only being able to time travel to the past, and only to his own memories. This way he is not able to go into the future and if he goes to the past he loses memories from the future if he changes something in the past. The film was quite long, however I enjoyed every minute of it, even breaking me into tears at one point. I think the poster for the film makes it more appealing as Rachel McAdams is mostly associated with Romance films including The Notebook and The Vow so people will automatically know that this is a Romance film, whereas the main actor of the story Domhnall Gleeson is a new actor and therefore not as known, therefore making him not the centre of the advertisement. I also think that the image used looks natural and not forced, adding to the natural romantic appeal of the film.
