Introduction to Film Language

Harrison Ford : BLADE RUNNER

 I think the film is about a young man who is on a mission to get something. However it looks like his mission is being interrupted by a female who he may be in love with or she may possibly be his rival.I can tell this by how the lighting is shone over the female's face making her look vulnerable. However she has an angry facial expression which conflicts with the lighting , making her look evil. I think the genres belong to action and drama.  I think the target audience is middle aged females and males. They may be aged around 25-35.

SCARY MOVIE 2
 I think this film is about a group of young people who are exploring a haunted house / area. However judging from the film poster there seems to be a lot of comedy involved. I can tell this by how the tagline says ' absolutely hilarious' creating a sense of humour. I think the target audience for this film is for both male and females ages 15 - 25. I believe those aged 15 + will enjoy this movie as there seems to be a lot of humour and comedy in it , however those aged above 25 tend to be more mature and may not find it as funny as those younger than them.

UZAK

I think think this film is about a young man who returns to his city / home town. He seems as though he is depressed as his back is facing up suggesting he is depressed or hiding something. He is also peering over the water and boats suggesting there may be some past memories created in the specific area that may be affecting him. The dull lighting again creates a sense of sadness and depression upon the character which contrasts with his dark hair and clothing. I think the genre this film belongs to drama as the main character looks as though he may be back to create trouble or revenge in this area. The target audience for this film is 70% males 30% females aged between 18- 35.

I'M NOT SCARED

I  think this film is about a little boy who finds a hole in the ground that may lead him to a mysterious object or place.The genres this film belongs to is mystery and drama. I think the target audience would be for both males and females. 50 % females 50% males aged 12 - 35.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

I think this film is about a group of pirates who go on an adventure to find some treasure. By looking at the small tag line 'dead man's chest' we can tell that this is what the pirates are aiming to get. The genres this film belongs to are action,adventure and fantasy. The target audience for this film is 60% males 40% females aged 12- 45.

SIN CITY

This film looks like it is about a group of young adults who set out to 'sin' in a city. By looking at the film poster i can see weapons such as guns which suggest the characters aims are to hurt other people. The genres this film belongs to are crime and thriller. The target audience for this film is 40% females 60% males aged between 16-35.

BRIDE & PREJUDICE

This film looks like it is about a young Asian couple who are planning to get married, however the word 'prejudice' in the film title suggests there may be some problems in the way. The genres this film belongs to is comedy and romance. I can tell this by the big tagline at the top 'spectacular, romantic, funny and SO sexy'. The target audience for this film is 60 % females 40% males aged 16 - 45.

MILLION DOLLAR BABY

This film looks like it is about a young female who has a dream / goal of becoming a boxer. The dark lighting around her suggests her journey or becoming a boxer may not be easy and the two males hidden in the shadows suggest that they may be there is disturb her dream. By concentrating the lighting on the female in the middle tells us that she is the main character in the film. The genres this film belongs to is drama and mystery. The target audience for this film 50% female 50% male aged 15- 35.
