film poster comparison to case studies

comparison of my case studies to my ski-fi film poster:

my case studies are hunger games and star wars my film poster is quite different from my case studies as they all have completely different stories and messages behind them. my film is all about a teenage boy who is schizophenic and is completely and utterly obsessed with robots since he was a young child, he can hear robots and he feels that they are talking to him and giving him tasks to complete and he has to fulfil the needs of the robots. the robots are quite evil and they tell him so start killing innocent humans who they seem to think that they are trying to harm the dystopian world.

my film poster contains the infomation about the actors/actress and this denotes the people who are important to the film. the word "Bots" connotes that there will be robots in the film. the picture depicts a boy who is half human and half robot this uses propp's theory of archetypal charcters for example the hero and villains.

audience


Audience: Certainly most of the potential audience for this film will know the story in advance, for since it was published in 2008, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has sold 10 million copies worldwide and reached near saturation point among teenage readers, especially girls, taking up the slack left by the completion of the Harry Potter and Twilight sequences.  For example when the selection of the representation in the hunger games most of the characters are mostly young adults/ teenagers.

 

The film appeals to a mainstream audience The Hunger Games, this movie is about children from the age of 12-18 that have to go and fight in the games. They have to do this to be reminded how people have died when they have fought for their Districts. The Districts go up to 1-12. They are picked out a thing called the reaping bowl, these choses the boy and the girl. Katniss Everdeen and her little sister Primrose Everdeen are in district. Prim is chosen from the reaping bowl, a Katniss volunteer as Prim isn’t ready. The boy that is picked is called Petta Mallark a baker boy from district 12 that Katniss Vaguely recognises. They have to fight for their lives to win the game in The Hunger Games. The games have a twist to them and it causes some unfortunate events that can get you killed.The age that the hunger Games is based on is 13 and up. The reason for this is because the film and the books contain gory contents. The interest that people will have when watching the hunger games is Action and the Lifestyle I think would be normal but also people will fill their lives with movies if they wanted to watch these films and some might be intellectual a the hunger games is originally book s so it would get that kind of group in to it. I think the people will watch this movie will be located anywhere; the reason for this is because I think it will appeal to anyone apart from the Group A’s because they won’t be that interested in this type of movie. I also think that people from Group B won’t go see it either.

 

The BBFC have rated this film as a 12a, I think this is a fair rating because         the film contains intense threat, moderate violence and occasional gory moments some scenes had to be edited or cut as they were too violent to be a teenage film.

 

The demographics for this film are likely to be teenager related there are more female characters than male characters in the film only the odd few also they are mostly all teenagers some of the characters are a much older in there 50s-60’s the region and the location of the film is set In a few different destinations All of the Capitol scenes were filmed in a studio in Shelby and Charlotte, North Carolina.

 

       The likely physiographics for this film are the survivors Katniss and Peeta      who are the winners of the hunger games they reach the end without getting shot/ killed  the  care giver in the film is primarily Katniss as she takes her sisters place.

 

The film satisfy the audience by keeping them entertained , giving information about the film, and the companionship of the characters and the person watching the film.
