How is his attitude demonstrated in the camera angles and editing of the trailer?
ReplyDeleteHow is the female shown to be dependent?
Do you think this film presents males in a positive light?
Who is the target audience for this film? How do you know?
John Mcleans attitude and arrogance are shown by the rapid editing of the trailer, and by the camera angles being filmed from low down looking up at John making him look tall and powerful.
ReplyDeleteThe female is shown to be dependant as in the trailer she is shot mainly with other people and it represented as being weak through running away and relying on the stronger characters to protect her.
I think the film both represents men positively and negatively because on one side their is John Mclean the hearo and the other the bad guy who the example of a bad male role model.
I think the target audience for this film is mainly males aged between 16 - 40 as this is the demographic of the characters within the film so the audience will be able to relate to them.
