There are many features of an action adventure film, nearly all of them include hero's and villains.Characters that will come and save your life, and ones where they want to take it away. They also include many fierce weapons such as swords and guns. The Institution for Batman is Warner Bros. which is quite a famous Hollywood Blockbuster mostly known for the successes of the films that have been made; such as Inception, Valentines Day, Red Riding Hood; and The Famous Harry Potter series. There all also different genres for this film much as Thriller, Crime and Drama. By having more than one genre it adds to the audiences interest. it also makes the movie more interesting and makes the viewer more hooked. I think the target audience for this movie would be 15-22 because if it was below fifteen, some parents would not like their children watching a movie which includes violence and some swearing. Although Officially it has been rated PG-13 for intense sequence of violence and some menace. Batman the dark knight has been structured in the traditional way; which is the Equilibrium first which is the existing state of harmony, then the Disiquilibrium this is the part when the harmony is disrupted and and an unfortunate event or evil characters come along to destroy something or someone. Leading to a conflict. Finally the New Equilibrium occurs; the evil forces have been evicted and the conflict has been resolved and there is harmony once again. The oppositional characters are also well known, even for people that haven't watched the movie, when you think of Batman the second character that comes to mind is the Joker, they're sort of like a pair.
