Action film

This is a Skyfall analysis by Carly Colgate, Brandy Miller-Holmes and Me. 

Magazine cover

 This is a very typical girlie teen magazine telling its audience about the latest tends celebs and gossip. The use of the extremely famous Rita Ora as the cover girl, the audience can connect the audience to the magazine and are instantly drawn to the recognizable celeb. The bright pink lipstick also links to the magazine as the writing and all of the ads are in a very electric pink. The pink is usually associated with girls and the cliché chick flick genre and therefore will bring in this audience. I would say the target audience for this film is girls ages 10- 15 due to the content of celebrities which would need a mature audience to understand however the novelty of the magazine.

One of the adverts on the bottom of the cover states- "I'd lick someone’s toe!"- This is extremely humorous and intriguing which would make the audience want to read and find out what is happening the well-known boy band- JLS. There is also an advert that refers to a new free makeover scheme. This would be extremely exiting for this range of girls as there is just entering the world of teen hood. This will therefore made the audience feel exited about reading and the word 'free' allows them to understand how easy iot is to access. 

Rita has a very positive reflection as she is smiling and laughing towards the camera, She has very white teeth, perfect hair, and immaculate makeup. This would make the audience feel envious of the celeb as she is the image of perfection of the young girl audience. Also by having the advert about the makeup, it gives the girls false hope that they could look like Rita and be mature and beautiful. 

The solan 

Initial !dea's

Our initial idea for our film are a thriller, as it allows us to create suspense and danger within our film. we are using aspects from films such as taken where the girl victim. We are going to use flashbacks to add another dimension to the film and also build  a back story to the girl involved. Family is a very large part of our film as it allows us to connect the film tot he audience. also it shows how her life used to be good and then turned bad when he parents go missing.

We are thikning of basing the film in an urban city in order to make it modern and contemporary.

Poster

The large ball of fire directly behind the running man creates an image of panic and danger as he escaping the fire. The orange colours creates a very dangerous and vibrant feel as the audience have full attention towards the centre of the poster. Around the fire is a dark area which creates a mysterious plot and emotion.

The audience have empathy for the male character as he have saner following him on his path. He appears to be wearing some sort of fire suit to protect him. I believe from the airplane in the back ground, the film is set in the war time which automatically brings in an older audience who have a passion for war.

The slogan for this film is "war is a drug" this connotes that war has an addictive quality and that men strive for violence and revenge. This is very interesting as from many peoples points of view war is something to escape and avoid due to the anxiety of murdering human beings.
The title of the film- "HURT LOCKER" has the connotation that a lot of pain and agony is involved in the war, however the locker implies that the men keep there feelings and emotions closed inside a locker and don't let anybody in to there lives. This title could mean something completely different however my view on it is from the persecute with from the soldiers!

Along the top of the film there are several unique selling points such as the nominees from the best actor awards. This will allow the audience To see what exiting qualities the film has to look forward too! If the acotsr it's are well known and good, the audience will have a better idea of the quality of the film and the budget given to the film.

Poster

Mean Girls

From this poster its is evident that the target audience is for young female audience and teens due to the stereotypical group of girls in the back ground. they are all wearing pink which symbolises that they cute be innocent and cute, or bitchy and sassy.
 It could also connote that they pretend to be sweat but are actually bullies. the fact that they are separated from the main character on the cover could show they are against her. they have very confident and sassy stances to show there power and strength. However Lindsey is standing with her back towards them while looking over showing her independence and perhaps dominance. 
As she is wearing a darker pink it shows her unique look and can make the audience have respect for her that she isn't conforming to the stereotype. 

The slogan for this film is 'Watch Your Back' which makes the audience think that something bad is going to happen to Lindsey as her back is not covered. This allows the audience to feel empathy for her as she is on her own. The release date for the film is in bold to make the audience understand how soon it will be out. Also there is a unique selling point for this film that is the very famous actor Lindsey Lohan. She has been in many different girl teen films which will therefore bring in a certain audience who have seen the previous films. 
The whole color theme for the poster is pink and purple- these colors are generally associated with girls and therefore will be a positive for the target audience. the target audience would be around 15-18 year old girls due to the humorous content. 

 

Poster

This poster has a very well known actor/model Cara Delevine which automatically entices the younger audience that are aware of Cara's fame. She is also extremely attractive which may bring in the young male audience to watch the film.
The bright electic blue sky in the back creates a happy atmosphere as it is a nice day. Along the top of the poster is the selling point- "from the author of The fault in our stars" this is something that is going ot bringin viewers as it was the bgreatest film of 2014 in the UK and America for the teen audience.

The title of the film 'Paper Towns' is very unique which gets the audience thinking about the meaning behind the content. The font of title looks childish and scribbly representing the innocent nature of the film. The slogan above the title- "GET LOST GET FOUND" the use of the repetition of 'GET' gives it a rhythm and meaning and gives a hint to what the film is about. As as a viewer, humans read posters from left to right, Cara is seen first and therefore has been given prevalence
 perhaps she gets lost and then found.

Her hair has been blown over the male's characters face which could show he dominance over him or the fact that she doesn't know who he is. He is also an unknown actor who is in the back ground perhaps suggesting he is a 'Nobody'. They both look fairly stern and are looking straight in to the eyes of the viewer which catches the audiences attention and grabs the audience focus.

Poster

This poster has a very innocent and naive feel to it. The young girl on the poster has long wavy hair that flows infant of her face. The angle of her hair that flows directs the audience’s eye to the left hand side of the picture. It also follows the light; also the light catches the colour of her hair and creates a very innocent and clear colour that highlights the colour of the background as it’s extremely dull and dirty. She also has extremely blue oceanic coloured eyes that are very captivating and draw the eye in to her. Her skin is also extremely pale and pure and creates the typical 'English Rose' look.

There is a light reflecting on to her face front the left portraying her innocent and beauty however on the right hand side, it is dark and haunting. This represents that there is danger ahead of her and that it is shadowing her.

The title is written in a golden colour and looks a little rough round the edges. This connotes the rocky journey, the characters journey through in the film. The slogan above the title highlights the main themes of the film- "Fight. Dream. Hope. Love" these words are extremely powerful and thought provoking so that the audience have some themes to think about while viewing the girl.

The film was first a Broadway musical and therefore the success from this is highlighted at the bottom of the poster- "The Musical Phenomenon" the producer obviously is proud of this and therefore wants to post it on the front cover so everyone can see it. Also lots have people have seen the musical and the specific musical group would be intrigued to how the film has changed to the stage show,
