What makes a Hero

What makes him an Action Hero:

• What he is wearing (armour)
• What his name is
• The type of weapons that are shown
• Fighting
• His facial expressions

BATMAN

The Hero needs to be able to fight and travel long distances across different terrain: When Batman has to chase the van that the joker is driving. At the same time joker is trying to harm the police car which has the president of United States, but he does not know that it's all in the plan. So basically Batman finds himself physically capable but putting the president's life at risk, just so he can catch Joker. He is able to travel at long distance with his wire and his batmobile. This tells us that he is the hero because at the end they get joker and put him into jail, but because of his sly ways, he trick the men working to let him have a phone call which is what everyone is allowed. so when he gives the number a ring, they realise that the phone is ringing somewhere in the building and the phone is placed inside one of the cell mates stomach. in the end one of the police officers presses the accept button, then the whole place explodes. Allowing the joker to be free. AGAIN.

• Women
• Teens
• Adults
• British viewers
• American viewers

Elements that have been included in the trailer that might appeal to the following groups.

Men: Weapons, machines, fighting, cars, money, james bond classics, poker game, attractive women

Women: Money? Handsome men, romance, 

Teens: action, violence, stunts

Adults: Plot 

British viewers: james bond, its a british classic

American viewers: Expensive cars. good looking casts, good views.

The two categories that have the most annotations is men and Women

Least annotations; Adults, American Viewers

I think the trailer and the makers of the film tried to involve both the categories but by doing that they alienated the bottom  two. I think that they did try to involve both men and women.

The figures for Casino Royale do not support my idea because they had the most gross for world wide.

The Bond Franchise as a whole often accused of sexist portrayals of women, this may affect its potential women because, if they find that its too sexist they wouldn't want to come watch its making them out to be something else. However I think think that they keep it to a minimum so its not that affective. The skull suggests death giving the genre action, because its obviously  going to have action

Three things on the posters that wold suggests it fits in the genre of Action Adventure.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Weapons, People that look fierce and ready for action, attractive women, the word pirates

Fugitive: "wife is Murdered" giving away the genre with the word murdered suggesting that it could have some action in it. He's running, fugitive and the train moving past him. he's a man…

The Gladiator: He's wearing armour, holding a sword. The word Gladiator, its as man. The place that he is standing in. he's clearly going for a fight!

Avatar: The Fantasy action adventure, there is small planes, the two characters at the beginning are not real which could signify that.  

The two films that fit into the genre action adventure just by the poster is; The pirates of the Caribbean&Gladiator because they have that fierce glow to them, they all include weapons and stuff.

The hardest to define would be the Avatar because it doesn't have any elements of action its just fantasy even though we know that there are sometimes hybrids. 

The films have more in common than more in difference.

The audience would expect lots of different things from Action Adventure films; they'd see killings, quests, journeys, romance and trilogy. Batman has the Villain Joker and the Hero Batman, lots of shooting especially at the beginning, the bank scene where each worker is killed one by one. 

Action Adventure films are so popular with audiences because they are easy to follow, and they have good plots sometimes there are times when something different happens, and they always keep the audience hooked. Suspense, violence. Fun to watch how the story unfolds, fairly straightforward, and the dispute is solved using physical violence. They are usually expensive because of stunts, and most of the time American. Some people may criticise the Action Adventure because of the low quality scripts, they are predictable, Cheesy dialogue, simple. Mediocre Storyline, Storyline, simple theme…

A Pitch. 

At least one character is non stereotypical.
