The poster summarizes as follows: The target audience is identified as mostly males ages 15-35 based on the age of the protagonist and themes of action and aggression. The genre is implied to be an action or thriller film based on the protagonist holding a gun. The main character is portrayed as a typical action hero who is aggressive, strong, and in control. Overall, the poster conveys the film will follow genre conventions while having its own independent style.

2. Target Audience:
From this poster I am able to interpret that
the target audience of the poster and by
extension, the film. It seems that the
intended audience is going to be mostly
male 15-35 years of age.This is because of
the age of the protagonist and the fact that
he has a love interest, used for male gaze.
The poster also has quite a realistic and
gritty theme to it which would further
suggest that the target audience would be
mostly male from 15 to 35 years of age.
Genre:
The genre of this film can be determined from
the mise en scene of the poster; noticing that
the main character is holding a gun,
suggesting that the protagonist is a killer or a
fighter of sorts, implying that there will be
action and it may be the main focus of the
production. Another way in which the genre
can be determined is simply from the title and
the reputation of the series that it is being
added to, this may also out some pressure on
the production to meet up to expectations of
genre conventions as well as living up to the
name of the series that it is being placed in.
Characters:
The way in which these characters are
being represented is very different but
typical for the genre of action. As the main
character, the male is holding a gun it
would suggest he is a fighter and a good
one, analysing his confident pose. This
character knows fully what they are
capable of. Then we have the character in
the background looking, second-class and
somewhat blends in with the soft
background. She is also in very appealing
dress, suggesting she is a love interest or
just there for show, this would fit with the
male gaze theory.
Conclusion:
From this it is possible to tell that this
poster is very typical and conventional
for the genre that it is placed in. This is
not necessarily a bad thing as it still
manages to be unique in its own way,
using the style that the films have
developed and put them into
production on a poster. The layout of
the poster is also typical but well done
and with a clean looking aesthetic
achieved through this.

3. Target Audience:
From this poster I am able to
identify that the target
audience of this is going to
be mostly males from the
ages of 15-40 as the
character is of an age in
between this. You can tell
that this will be targeted like
this as of the themes
presented in the poster; the
main character is carrying a
gun and his stance is quite
aggressive. This shows that
there will be a lot of action
within the production itself
and will be typical of its
genre.
Genre:
The genre of the film is represented very clearly on this poster as
it uses mise en scene to communicate this.The main character
has a gun and is in very basic but practical dress; this all
communicates that the genre of the production is going to either
be an action or a thriller film. It could be either as they tend to go
with each other and they have very similar themes. Something
that tends to be typical of this genre is the soft background and
have the main character in focus in the foreground.
Characters:
The way in which this
character is represented is as
a typical main character
within an action movie. He is
represented as aggressive,
strong and the one that is in
control.This can all be taken
from the mise en scene and
the stance and focus of the
poster itself.The character
also looks very serious but
focused and it show that
they know what they are
doing and are able to control
the environment that they
are in.
Conclusion:
From the poster it is possible to see that the production is going to be
conventional for its genre. It has adopted its own style and made the
production look independent in its own way.The layout that is used in
this poster is not extremely conventional nor does it break many
conventions. It still uses a soft background and the character in the
foreground is in focus. It is possibly presented in a more simplified
version of what a poster usually is, as it includes less textual
information.

4. Target audience:
From this poster I am able to gather that the
age of the target audience is going to be
somewhere from 15 to about 35 years of
age.This is because of the age of the
character and the general audience that
action movies tend to attract. It will likely be
a mostly male audience as of the genre and
the appeal of this type of film and themes
represented within them.An unusual angle
and portrayal is used to capture the
protagonist, suggesting that they will be
quite an ominous character, befitting of the
genre.
Genre:
The genre of the film may be a little
more difficult to determine than most
others.This is because of what is
shown on the poster and simply that it
has a lack of visual content.The
themes are clearly put across, and
perhaps from this we can determine
the genre of an action movie.The title
may also help with the identification
of the genre.
Characters:
The way in which this character is
represented is fairly unconventional of
an action movie and possibly presents
the character in a negative light rather
than a positive one. It also conceals the
identity of the protagonist somewhat by
hiding some of the main features of
their face, this only adds to the ominous
image the is made of the character.
Conclusion:
From the poster it is possible to see
that the production is going to be
conventional for its genre. It has
adopted its own style and made the
production look independent in its
own way.The layout that is used in
this poster is not extremely
conventional nor does it break
many conventions. It uses a shadow
effect to conceal the identity and
make the character look ominous
and somewhat evil.
