The Dark Knight

What is the genre of the film? The genre of this film is an action/adventure with a little bit of drama. I know this has action in it because of the way batman is standing. He is posing with a muscular look which would be intimidating to the audience.

What key conventions of a film poster can you find?  There are not many key conventions on this poster because it is a sequel from the first Dark Knight movie which was released a couple years before this and had a cliff hanger at the end of the movie so people would know what to expect. This is probably why they didn’t give out a lot on the poster. The central image is a picture of batman standing in a muscular figure. There are two titles in this poster. One at the top that says “rise” and on at the bottom that says “The Dark knight rises.”

What key conventions of a film trailer can you find?  In this trailer you can hear a voice over from the voice of the villain in this movie which is the Joker. He talks throughout the trailer and the more he talks the more action is shown. You are able to hear many explosions in the trailer because they are trying to hint out that this movie is action packed and lives up to its genre. Towards the end of the trailer the famous batman theme tune starts to play and that is when they show the title and the release date.

What is the target audience for the film? The target audience for this film would mainly be a male category because most males are into action and fighting movies, but you can’t forget the main reason-It’s a Batman movie. I would give this movie an age certification of 12A.

Why is the film promotion successful? This film promotion was successful because on the poster they don’t say much about the movie which is a good thing because it will make audience feel very  excited and leave them wondering about the movie. The trailer is good because the villain is the main person being shown which is very interesting because it suggest that the villain has more authority over the hero. This is a very rare thing and would be interesting for batman fans.
