2. The Dark Knight
Target audience-
I believe that the target audience for this film
would be aged between 15-40 of a male age as
every where on this poster there is things that
would appeal to a male.
The title of the film is bold and eye catching that
has the logo of the main character that can be
recognised by anyone that has seen anything to
do with the Batman franchise, which is usually
typically looked into by males.
The dark colours used also show that it is most
likely aimed at a male genre as stereotypically
darker colours are associated with male figures.
Characters-
The character used on the
poster would also appeal
to the target audience as
the character looks like a
dominant figure in society
that the audience will be
able to look up too the
character.
The character has been
portrayed in a way that
looks like he's been called
into action this is shown
from the character rushing
out the building in a fast
manner on a motorbike.
The characters body
language suggests that
he's determined and
ready.
Genre-
The genre for this film would
be action and drama. We
know from the picture of the
main character Batman
jumping out a building on a
motorcycle, this shows action
and drama as there's probably
an easier way that the
character can get where he's
going but chooses to jump
through the building creating a
more interesting dramatic
effect.
Conclusion-
In conclusion I believe that this film poster is very
successful as straight away it would draw the audience in
as it has someone jumping out a building that isn't usually
seen in everyday life.
However I believe that this poster could have been
improved by maybe putting a small amount information
on the side
3. Noah
Target audience-
The target audience for this poster
would most likely be aged between
16-40 both male and female.
The colours used on the poster
would most likely appeal to both
genders as blue is a widely
considered unisex colour.
Characters-
The character in this trailer
would appeal to both
genders as they have added
male characters that may
appeal to the female
audience and female
characters that may appeal
to the male target audience,
which supports the male
gaze theory.
Genre-
I believe that the genre for this film
would be action, drama and fantasy,
the poster shows people from an
army looking to go into war giving a
action impression another genre
that is easily presented is fantasy for
example there is a giant boat that is
thrashing through giant waves in
the ocean which isn't usually seen
in everyday life. The last genre that
is seen on the poster would be
drama as it shows each of the
characters in dramatic poses that
are taken out context from different
circumstances in the film.
Conclusion
In conclusion I believe that
this was poster was very
successful as it has a good
use of captivating storylines
that connect between each
other that makes it exciting
instead of one storyline.

Conclusion-
Overall I believe that this poster is very successful as it uses a well
know character making the audience more likely to see the film
because they know what to expect, which would be full of thrilling
sequences. I also believe that has overall successes as by having
the tile Dracula Untold this creates a sense of mystery for the

this poster would be 15-
30, as the main image
that is displayed consists
of a dark theme that a
younger audience might
find disturbing as when
watching the film it may
make them feel uneasy
because its graphic. The
target audience will also
be those that enjoy a
dramatic, horror thriller
this is easily shown as
the genres as the name
of the film Dracula tells
the audience from
anything that they
previously know from
Dracula storylines this
would be the case as he
is always seen as a dark
character to people.
Context-
At the bottom of the page the
sub heading is displayed in an
interesting way that is written in
a different font compared to
other lettering on the page which
says every bloodline has a
beginning which portrays a
interesting way that would
captivate the audience straight
away as it looks different from
other fonts.

away a large amount
of info that it will
consist of.

presents a
Characters-
The characters in this genre would
appeal to the male gender as the
characters displayed look like
dominant characters that would most
likely appeal to men as the majority of
men see a powerful character as
dominant.
6. Conclusion
In conclusion I believe that posters for teenages to adults
needs to consist of dark colours, bold titles and action
scenes these are used widely to catch this particular
audiences attention.
Another convention that would be used for this particular
audience would be characters that are a similar age as it
gives them someone to relate to.
The most important conventions that must be included in
a poster would be the title and the release date, without
these the audience aren't able to know the name of the
movie and then do further research into it whether or not
they are interested in watching it
