To go even deeper for my idea using the romantic genre, I decided to choose a. long distance relationship as the story I'm trying to tell. This idea can bring in emotions of melancholy, loneliness, and deep longing.

For the second poster of my diptych I wanted to portray an emotionally sad image. To carry the story it leaves an open ending of either breaking up from the relationship, having to be long distanced from a loved one, or experiencing the loss due to death of a loved one. It allows the viewers to write their own ending that they can relate to as well.

Using a digital camera filter can enhance the warmth of a photo. In regular romance shows and movies, the colours used are very warm to express the warmth from love. I still wanted to incorporate some warmth within my cold and dark palette. As well as, using the date and time stamp to indicate time has passed between the diptych.

"The Notebook" is centred around a couple who was separated due to World War II. After several years, they finally reunited but they don't love each other anymore and have moved on creating their own families separately. This inspired my poster idea, to amplify the emotions of the lost of a loved one and having to move on.

The font style mimics the idea of holes and empty spaces. This reminded me of a partner leaving you with an empty whole in your life. Since that someone had an important impact on your life, once that impact is gone you're left with a void in your daily life and emotional health.

I want to use a bedsheet or a blanket as a prop for my photographs. I think of the bedsheet as comfort and being able to hide my secrets under the sheet. It connects to my relationship because it symbolizes being comfortable with my partner and we have our own private life together that others don't know about.

Looking back on this photo I took, the setting that this took place gave inspiration to my poster. The rain symbolizes the sadness and the colour red can represent love, passion, and heightened emotions. In many romance genres, scenarios such as the partner waiting in the rain for their loved on or someone gives them an umbrella so they don't get rained on. An umbrella can represent protection, meaning the person is protecting their partner from troubles.
