Aurora


Genre:
Aurora (2015) is a romantic version of a sub-genre science fiction movie. It seems as if the world is ending and robots are taking over meaning humans are limited of choice. Also the world is a dystopia and humans want to change it back into a utopia for the following generations to come. A woman is in a hospital possibly sick and I think that she is turning into some sort of unrealistic creature. Robots change the world into a futuristic world and buildings are torn. Humans have know where to go.

Key conventions:
In this trailer there are a variety of features which make this a sci-fi. In the background you hear a man saying how the world is doomed and in the first couple of shots the world is normal but then a scene shows a robot and the man starts talking more about of bad the world is. He will get into detail and say how human nature is breaking apart.

Target audience:
The target audience is a hard one to think about however I think the target audience is both genders in there teenage or in their 20's. The film doesn't have a rating yet but most likely to be 18+. In 2020 it is concluded that humans are the biggest threat to the planet, but sixty years later the main male character doesn't know where he stands any more and meets the main female character who says she's on her way to a place called Aurora. The romance comes in when it seems as if a lady is mutating into some sort of robot or unrealistic character. The reason this may appeal to young males in there teenage is because it consists robotic and violent things which may appear in games or some sort. The reason it may appeal to young females in there teenage is because it has hints of romance within the movie and it has a heroine character who seems to know what she's doing and where she is going. The reason it may appeal to both genders in there 20's is because it includes a hero man who is with a heroine and it might get cool to see both genders working together and again it includes appropriate romance which younger's like to see.

Alien Outpost
Genre:
This movie comes under the sub-genre of alien invasion which comes under sci-fi. The fact that there are soldiers being interviewed and speaking as if this happened to them years ago ( not many years ago) suggests that this happened in the past. The main feature in this trailer are Aliens.

Target Audience:
It certainly is not an easy decision  to suggest a certain age group or gender that would watch this but I have come to the conclusion that this may be a 18+ film as there is a lot of death shown in these clips and when blood is shown it is very detailed and there is lots of it which is why this may not appeal to young children and might be a film where teenagers go out with friends to watch it. At the start of this trailer it opens up with a question which is being answered throughout the whole movie via scenes and verbal explanations. The second scene is something to really think about as a man who I assume is the main character ( but no signs in this trailer that he is) gives a brief explanation of what has happened. The reason we may be attracted to this movie is because it shows all this blood and gore but we may like this sort of movie due to certain computer games or books. We also a fire ball said to be aliens but in this clip the "main character" says 'they first dropped through the atmosphere' he says they leaving a tension to the audience who still hasn't heard what mutant this is. They launched a world wide attack suggesting there were lots of these aliens which is another reason why 18 and overs may be more suited to this because they are intelligent and know more about around the world.

Key conventions:
There aren't as many key conventions as Auroura but there are enough to give this the sub-genre of alien invasion and the genre of sci-fi. You see a fire ball go through the atmosphere and break into the whole world. You also see drawings of aliens and there are harsh small flashes of aliens but its extremely harsh you almost do not see them. Also, if you pause the video at 1:50 you see a very clear shot of the alien and there is a key feature... it has armoured gear on.

Jurassic World
Genre:The genre of this film is adventurous but what makes this sci-fi is the fact that it includes a feature which is extinct in other words does not exist or is a unrealistic character. The fact that there are dinosaurs everywhere implies that the population is rising quickly.

Key conventions:
Some of the features in this movie make it what it is. One of the most key ones is that there is an unrealistic feature and this feature is that there are dinosaurs which are extinct. Chris Pratt is the main character and he wears the typical vest that we always see in adventure movies.

Target audience:
The target audience in my opinion is a 12+ as it can get violent and the screams may be to much for young children that are 7 and think its an ordinary dinosaur movie. Also it has scenes where it looks as if something bloody or gory may happen which may not attract parents if they sit down with there kids to watch this.

Introduction to media

Hello Media Friends!

The reason why I chose Media Studies is because my older brother has done it for his GCSE's so he will be able to help me out with my work.

The part I am looking forward to doing the most is making videos and taking shoots for the videos.

The knowledge I hope to learn is editing and using photo shop as I do make my own you tube videos which are good but could be improved.

The grade that I am realistically trying to get in media is a B because I know it is always possible to get an A or A* but I hope first time I get a B.

The last t.v program I watched was humans which is a show where a new type of robots are introduced and are programmed to do certain things. In a certain episode an actual human is told by the robot it can look after her kid better. shocking!!

I think that appears to +18 because it can get awkward at some points and it definitely gets gory. I think that the reason why it appeals to them... I'm not really sure to be honest.

The most recent technology I used in the last 24 hours is my Iphone 5s, a pc, my t.v.

The device I use the most is my phone because I can do a lot of things on it such as upload from it.

I think that the jurassic world trailer would fit into adventure because it is all around greenery and they search for things or adventure to find things. It may also fit into action though.
