Watch the trailer for Casino Royal and list any elements that you think might appeal to the following groups

Men- Guns, cars, fights, violence, attractive women, casinos, James Bond Classics

Women – Romance, actors (James Bond)

Teens- the fighting, action, actors,violence.

Adults – action, plot line                                                                       

British Viewers- it is a British film-

American Viewers- the actors- it’s a big production

Men and teens have the most annotations

The least was women and adults.

I think that the makers of the film may have intentionally targeted the film at men and teens who are interested in cars, guns, violence and fights. The makers might have not purposely tried to alienate the women as they did include some romance.

I don’t think the figure agree with my ideas above as they show the amount of money received from the US and the UK.

Pirates of the Caribbean – the poster fits into the action adventure theme- the poster includes-Swords –Guns- treasure pirates- attractive woman.

The fugitive – this poster kind of fits into the action adventure theme-someone running fast- a man it doesn’t suggest much that it is an action adventure movie.  The name fugitive

Gladiator- the name gladiator – a man standing in armour- suggest a war/fighting/action.

Avatar- the actor in poster has no expression- the poster, to me, doesn’t suggest that it’s an action adventure film

The poster for the Pirates of the Caribbean looks more of an action adventure film than the others as there is more that’s suggest to the audience that it is.   

What the audience would expect from an action adventure film-

They would expect there to be and adventure to achieve/find and/or destroy, where the main characters would go through numerous of problems and solutions on their journey along with some action- fighting/violence.

Action adventure films are popular with audiences because most include quite a lot what appeals to the target audiences.

Some people critisise Action adventure films=

Simple theme, mediocre storyline, cheesy dialogues, low quality scripts.

my idea for an action adventure film-

Just Under. 

a small, timid girl, lives with her dad- whos always away at work- hes an archaeologist-

she then recieves news that hes been declared dead. wanting to find out ther truth herself she sneak of out to find him. not knowing how to do it she catches a plan, and of course arouses suspicions that a small girl like her is all alone. 

though small and seemingly harmless- in her free time she had learnt all arts of defence- and is heavily armed. 

and at bags check and the metal detectors she then attacks the man who simply asks her to open her bags and the becomes wanted for assault to a police officer.  a sole journey across the world- testing her defence and risking her life she finds that her dad had possessed an aztec idol which had posessed him giving him the appearance that hes dead. 

she has to take back the idol which also hold many powers in which the holder can choose from what he thinks
