Judging from poster, the most obvious film genre for this specific movie would be a Science Fiction. The images gives off a futuristic vibe with the light strobes in the corner, the tall skyscrapers are not designed like any buildings in present, suggesting that the film might not be based in the current time. There are two people on the poster, giving the audience the impression they are the main characters or will appear the most throughout the movie. The women seems relaxed compared to the man, she has a cigarette in her hand whereas he has a gun. A women and a cigarette could mean authority, women are not usually associated with a cigarette. The man with the gun shows dominance, a man on a mission. From the poster, the story line might involve a romance between the man and the women, or some sort of relationship whether it be a good or bad. Seeing as it is a science fiction film, there might be a hero and Lillian thing going on. The ones with the cigarette are normally the villains in such films; laid back, demanding, threatening. The man with the gun could be our hero, his face seems to covered in dirt, sweat and a face of determination could suggest he is hard working in complete whatever his ''mission'' might be. The target audience for this specific film might be people over the age of 15 but mostly adults because at the bottom of the poster, it states ''R'' meaning it is rated as ''restricted''.
Scary Movie 2 2001
Judging from the title of the film, it's film genre might be horror however the poster image itself does not say that. The image looks almost comical, like a comedy. The green shirt with '' I <3 dead people'' could be foreshadowing death within the movie alongside the man wearing a mouth mask (maybe the villain?). There seems to be a man with his head cut off and filled with popcorn, to an audience like me, I do not find that ''scary'' but funny instead. Judging from the poster the film might have some scary content within it however it might be heavily filled with comedy. This film genre might be a horror - comedy. The film might be about a group of teenagers who are all different but merge together to fight a specific thing that might be causing them difficulty. The priest at the back has his fingers crossed together in a cross, so that might mean what ever is bothering them could be seen as unholy in the eyes of the priest e.g a ghost spirit of some kind? The audience target for this film might be for the ages of 15 and over because most horror films have age restrictions due to some horrific content. However I am not 100% sure because of the comedy, whether the humour is neutral or might it be more for adults?
Uzak (Distance) 2004
A lonesome man over looking a contaminated river with building and factories in the distance, releasing sky blinding smoke into the air. The man is stood in on a snow covered hill (I presume). He wears a knee length black coat, scarf wrapped around his neck and black trousers. He seems to be contemplating something, perhaps something troubling. As he faces the outlines of the city far away he is probably saying his last goodbye, to a place where he probably has a lot of connection to. The dirty water, the blinding smoke might suggest that this is a poor place, the colours chosen for this particular poster are dull, saddening and gloomy. Something terrible has probably happened to have caused him to say his goodbye. Maybe he is not saying goodbye, maybe it's ''good riddance''. The film genre might be a drama or a documentary styled film. The target audience for this film would be for all ages. Most dramas allow all ages to view their movies. Most importantly the movie is not English as ''Uzark'' is Turkish for distance, which suggests that this movie has been subtitled with English.
I'm Not Scared 2004
A young boy assuming he is under the age of 10, looks down at what seems to be a dug up hole. He looks troubled, like what ever he discovered is most definitely not a good thing. The young boy looks like he wishes he could turn time back and not have discovered anything. The title is very interesting as it says the opposite of his facial expression. The bright blue sky contrast to the dark hole below the young boy suggests that there's horrible lying beneath. He is probably convincing himself that he's not scared, so he can stay strong for something or someone. There's the chance he can get in huge trouble for whatever he might have discovered. The film genre is Thriller as it states on the film poster. The kid must have dug knowing he would find something worth finding. Most thrillers have the age rating of 15 however because of the young boy in the movie, I will say the target audience for this film is over 12 year old children and for adults too.
Sin City 2005
#This appears to be a movie that has a generic convention. Judging from the black and white colours with the popping red comic scripting suggests that this film is an action film. The male with the gun draws the most attention through the poster suggesting he is the central character within the film, with a glamorous cliche blonde women beside him could suggest that be his sidekick? A low angle shot stands out the most which captures all 5 characters in a menacing tone. I believe that this specific film is mostly tailored for adults or those above the age of 15, the title of the movie ''Sin City'' can be only recognized by those who have already committed a sin or those who have come really close to.
Pirates Of The Caribbean 2006
This film immediately strikes as an action-adventure film. As the title suggests, the film stars buccaneers who quite conventionally in regards to pirate films, go on a search for treasure. The mise-en-scene in the poster further supports this with the one of the actors branding a bandanna and flintlock pistol prop in his hand, along with the ship of the centre of the poster. These all help to contribute to this idea of piracy and with the determined looks on the faces of the three (man) actors on the poster as if they're driven to obtain this referred to treasure, it's not wrong to assume that this film is in the action- adventure genre based around pirates. The target audience for a film like this likely teenagers up to adults simple as a result of the fat the film is likely to contain slightly more violent scenes as apparent with props such as the pistol in the hand of Johnny Depp,
Bride & Prejudice 2004
This film seems comical, this is because when reading the title 'Pride and Prejudice' springs to mind however judging from the front cover it isn't remotely close due to the festivity feel with the big smiles, striking poses, up to date fashion etc. The looks might not be related to the original story but might the content? In the background there seems to be two sides of cultural ; the classic western with casual attire and then there's the classic Indian cultural festivity. The conflict between two sides brings to people together and they learn to solve their different in order to be together. The film genre would probably be a Rom-com/drama judging from the poster, and in most rom-coms and dramas the target audience would be for every one of all ages (PG)
Million Dollar Baby 2004
The story will be about the girl being trained in some kind of fighting form, this is because of the girls top it looks like the kind of top that some one training will wear. Another possibility is the girl has something special about her and had it since birth, and is being chased for whatever it is that is so special about her. From the title as if a baby is worth a million dollars they must have something special but as the woman is fully grown that is why i think she gets chased.
The genre this belongs to is action because of the way the girl is standing she looks like she is in a fighting position and her clothes again look like a fighting related top.
The target audience for this is 18-40 because it looks like an action movie but the reason the older target audience is because of the two actors Clint and Morgan as older people will know them from some of their older movies so might want to see this movie.
