The narrative of the film fits into the sci-fi genre because it is about aliens invading the world and trying to take over . This is sci-fi because the sub genre for it is alien invasion .

One of the main characters in the film ( Will Smith ) would appeal to an audience because he is one of the hero's in the film and he is black . This doesn't always happen in Hollywood films because the hero's are usually which men . Therefore , this would appeal to an audience because its something different .

The audience would enjoy tense parts in the film and scenes where there is action and fighting .
One part of the film that the audience would enjoy is when the aliens first arrive . The audience would get visceral pleasure because they get a feeling of tension and excitement as the space ship arrives over America . A second part that the audience would enjoy is when the aliens attack . This is because the audience gets vicarious pleasure as they would feel sympathetic towards the people that are being attacked . They would also get voyeuristic pleasure because the audience can see how the different characters react in different situations . Finally , another part in the film the audience would enjoy is the presidents speech to the troops because they get voyeuristic as they can make a connection with the words that president says in his speech .

I chose this film because it is a brand new James Bond film that was released very recently . I also chose it because it looks like an action packed film that looks interesting to watch .




The film production company behind the movie is Columbia pictures .


This film fits into the Action genre . This is because a lot of drama seem to happen in the film . This includes chases , fights , violence and under cover work . This is demonstrated in the trailer which gets peoples attention and makes some want to watch the film .




The man that playes James Bond is Daniel Craig . He is well known for playing The role of James Bond and has also appeared in other films , for example The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo .

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.
