I have the most annotations for 'men'
Do you think of the makers of the film and trailer intentionally tried to involve the top 2 groups and alienate the bottom two groups?
I think they did try to include men and teens because the whole film includes the interests of men (ie. Guns, Cars, Poker games etc.) but they related it in a way where the interests are based on a typical male's likes and dislikes. Teenagers would appeal to this as it includes both attractive men and women and most teenagers know who James Bond is. It also depends on what teenagers like but then again, the makers of this advert bases it around the typical average teen.
I dont think they meant to alienate the bottom two groups because the filmstill includes the interests of American Viewers because they would try and appeal to all audiences. American industry are well-known for their famous films therefore hope most Americans enjoy the action as it includes high tech things and expensive cars etc. My second bottom group is Adults, personally i think they tried to include the adults more.
- You can tell this fits in with the genre action adventure because the title 'Pirates of the Caribbean' suggests an adventure as 'Pirates' are known for travelling and accomplishing quests and 'Caribbean' is known as a big, large place for hunters.
- Also Johnny Depp is holding two swords which suggests a fight
- There is also a skull on the right which suggests death.
- This shows an action adventure film because it is a man running which suggests a chase.
- Facial expression shows fear and determination
- it singles out just a man
- This suggests action adventure because there is a gladiator on the front and is known for fighting.
- The colours suggest doom and horror
- His armour suggests action and fight, he is also in an arena and is holding a sword.
- This suggests action adventure as the scene at bottom suggests a quest
- There is an animal at the bottom with wings which connotes a battle with animals?
- The fact there is an avatar on the front and a man which are faded out which could mean opponent in battle?
I think the hardest print advert to define as action adventure is both Avatar and The Fugitive because the audience is so use to seeing swords and guns to define action adventure but Avatar shows none of this and is a fantasy; also The Fugitive is quite a simple cover and is hard to see its action adventure. It isn't very colourful or eye catching.
What should an audience expect from a film in the Action Adventure genre?
I think they should expect action sequences obviously and the typical hero and villain. They should also expect an intriguing plot which is solved in the end or continues throughout the trilogy. It should control how much we know to hold our interests and creates a mystery. People usually expect murder or fighting.
Why are Action Adventure films so popular?
Because they keep the audiences attention and are easy to follow. Most action adventures are hybrids which puts a twist in every action adventure movie (ie. romance, comedy). Its fun to watch the story unfold and are more entertaining than watching one based genre. They are usually high concept films where the whole movie can be easily summarised in one sentence.
Why do some people criticise action adventure films?
They can be too predictable and have a simple theme, also the lack of quality in the scripts and are very very very stereotypical.
Pitch for a new action adventure:
Title: Eternity Battle
Age Certificate: 12A
Plot: There is this nerd named Martin, he is continuously bullied everyday at university but he always seemed to cope thanks to his encouraging father, Fedrick and ofcourse; Martins love... Allie. Martin too was very clever and was working at home on a new software called Eternity, for many years he has tried to complete it and sell it. In the summer holidays every student had a summer job; except Martin. He worked on his software but was also planning to spend time with Allie; but she was always busy. Martin was convinced he had finished his software and met up with the manager of Apple, the manager was very pleased and offered alot of money but he firs wanted the disk. When Martin returns from bathroom, the manager had gone, but left his business card which stated hed be working in Singapore.
The next week Martin finds out that the manager had stolen his software so he set off to Singapore. In Singapore, Martin goes to the Apple Business and demanded to see him; but to his surprise he spots Allie. They are both shocked to see eachother and Allie explained how her parents had moved there and she was sorry for not saying goodbye to anyone. The next day Martin follows Allie home. Her sister; Annie had pushed away every 'nanny' that the company had refused to send anymore. As Allie and Apple Manager worked in the same place; Martin decided to become a 'nanny' for Annie.
Over the past weeks; Annie likes Martin and they got along well, not only this but he could see Allie everyday. One night the manager comes over to Allies house and tells Allie that Martin was not a 'nanny' but was only using her to get to him.
(summary of next scenes) Martin convinces Apple the software was his and manager is sacked. Martin declares love for Allie ; Allie and Martin are in a relationship!
