LR post

EBI: Some of your comments are a bit sweeping (too broad and general) - your LR should clarify this.

LR: I think the target audience for Avengers Age Of  Ultron is for people aged 8 and over . I think this because young people of this age in particular males are into films that have a bit of action an adventure in . As a result of this ,  families that have younger children would be attracted to the film because they would want to take their kids to see it . I think that the people that go to see the film are of a middle class that have a decent education . It would also take the interest of teenagers and young adults that have an interest in sci-fi films that have heroes and villains because it has action and adventure in it which people like them . 

I think that this film was successful at box office because the first film was released in 2012 and Age of Ultron got released in 2015 which means it took 3 years for the second film to come out. This means that people would of really wanted to see the second film to see what its like . It was also available to see in 2D , 3D and in imax . 3D and imax would of attracted a lot of people who would of brought tickets specifically for 3D or imax . Finally ,  it was successful because  people would of also brought tickets to see the film in 2D which would of sold a lot because it is cheaper .

camerawork : minority report shot-by-shot analysis


The medium close up shot allows the audience to see the characters facial expressions and shows them how they are feeling . Behind the people you can see stairs and as they are at the bottom of them it suggests that they have entered the area that they are in . The characters also have a bit of a surprised look which can show the audience they are shocked to see what they have found or seen . Also , the fact they are all lined up suggests that they are serious and makes them look more powerful . 



The wide shot gives the audience an incite of the location that the characters are in and in this case its an alleyway . The image shows a man running away from something and the camera looks as if it has been zoomed out . This makes the person look small and as a result the audience could think that there's not much hope for him . This can make the audience have sympathy for the man because he could be in trouble . The derelict car that is there could make the audience infer that the man's future doesnt look to bright . 


The close up shot lets the audience see the persons facial expression and how he could be feeling . It looks as if the man is about to say something and it looks as if he is going to do something that could surprise the audience . The audience can interpret this by reading his body language and seeing his facial expressions . The camera has zoomed in slightly to help show his expressions more . The angle is a little bit high which makes him look weaker and a little bit helpless.

my fruit bowl


My theme for my fruit bowl was Autumn . I chose the image in the top right hand corner to get different colours to colour in my fruit bowl . I added the colours by using the eyedropper tool . By using this tool you can select colours from an image you have put into photoshop and then put the colours you have chosen into an image.









For my second image I still stuck with the Autumn theme . This time however I got two images from google to put into my picture . The first image I used as a background and the second image I used to put into one of the fruits . I did this by selecting parts of my image then I went to paste special and hovered over then clicked on paste into . My image then got pasted into parts of my fruit bowl.

media key concepts



Language: The title of this film is " Guardians of the galaxy " . This title suggests that this film fits into the sci-fi genre because the setting of the film is in space . The sub genre to the film could be alien invasion or space because its set in space and have aliens and robots that want to have control over the galaxies . The denotation for this is an unusual group that looks like they are in space and trying to fight something of . The connotation is that these mutant people are under attack and have to defend them selves .

Institution: The film was produced by Kevin Feige who made the film for marvel studios who are best known for their super hero films . Marvel are also known for making comics linked to their films which graps the attention of many young viewers . This helped the films success as it got recognised more in the media .

Audience: I think the audience is roughly 7-18 . I think this because it has action that will attract older viewers and marvel studios also release comics and toys that attract younger viewers . This film also attracted famines too as they would of had to take their children to see the film .

Representation: This poster is represents a group which includes 2 mutant people , a human , a raccoon and an alien . It is unusual to see a female character that plays a dominant role in the film . Its also unusual to have an animal that plays a main character too because sci-fi dont tend to include things like this .

Science fiction film holiday home work


                                                           Avengers Age Of Ultron
The key information about the film / media language:

This second avengers film fits into the sub genre of experimental science .  This is because one of the characters in the film creates robots that he believes will help people in their day to day to day lives but he didn't knew that they would rebel and try and take over the world . It also has a bit of dystopia in it because they character that created the robots gets a vision of what would become of him and his friends and what the world be like if the robots ruled.


In the film , Iron man ( one of the main characters ) creates robots that he thinks will benefit people as they can help them do things . However , one of the robots became too intelligent and managed to become his own person . He then leads an army of robots to help rule the world . All the avengers have to help destroy Altron ( the robot leader ) and the rest of his army .


It is set in various locations but one of the main location is a large room in a building that has very advanced technology and different devises tat look futuristic . This links to the genre because the gadgets there are advanced and look like they could be potential future inventions .


The characters in the film are linked to sci-fi because they have either been mutated or experimented on which links to sci-fi . Iron Man has a suite that he created by using technology . Hulk was genetically mutated which makes him very powerful . Many of the other characters were are also powerful which also links them to sci-fi .


The production company that created this film is Marvel which have created many different sci-fi films that include heroes and villains that have been scientifically mutated in some way . Joss Whedon directed the film .

Budget : The budget was estimated at around $250,000,000

Many people have made a review of the film and many were not impressed by it . Out of the views that I read , 9/10 people didn't like the film as they thought if it as "pointless" and "disappointing" . Despite the fact that many didn't enjoy the film , it still got 6 nominations and 1 win at Chose movie : Scene stealer .

This film was targeted at young viewers that love movies that have superhero's in it and a lot of action .It also could have been targeted at teenagers and young adults which like so see some action and adventure in a film and they could also have a particular interest in marvel films .
