Audience:
In my opinion I think that the target audience for the movie "X-Man days of future past" would be people aged from 12-13 to 35-45. I would think that this movie is for 70% male and 30% female because there is more of action in this film which male would love more than female.The main reason why this movie would be aimed at male because the main hero is male and normally females are not for action film. I think this movie will be aimed for greater number of people aged between 12/13 - 25 as there is more action and they have the use of new technology and the movie looks more futuristic.  

Representation:
The film poster of the movie "X-Man days of future past" shows that the film is futuristic. Firstly you see an image of a man who is in a sitting posture in the air but nothing beneath him which shows improved technology which will happen after 50 years, so this shows that its futuristic based film. Secondly in the background you could see few men flying across the sky with a highly modified suit which can make them fly, this also makes it look futuristic. Lastly, you could see a spaceship flying across which shows that there is new transportation as there is new is technology and all of this shows that this is a futuristic based film which concludes that this movie is a SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE!

1)

  •  The sub-genre that the movie Predators fit into is aliens, horror and adventure film because the movie shows that few people have landed onto another planet and they are being hunted by aliens as they are called predators.
  • The mercenary Royce,the military Isabelle, the Russian soldier Nikolai, the San Quentin criminal Stans, the Sierra Leone militia Mombasa, the drug lord Cuchillo, the Yakuza Hanzo, and the doctor Edwin were awaken in free fall but they succeed to open their parachutes landing in a jungle. Soon they discovered that they were on another planet and they are preys of the aliens in a deadly hunting game, and they need to join forces to destroy their predators and survive. 
  • The setting of Predators was linked to the science-fiction genre as they characters in the movie landed on another where aliens were. The way the movie was directed showed that it was horror because the aliens were to pop out from anywhere which scared the audience. Lastly the setting of the movie was on another planet which made Predators an adventure film.
  • Characters in Predators was linked to the science-fiction genre because all of the characters that landed on another planet were the best worriers and they had the strength to destroy the aliens as they were their predators.
  • The theme was alien invasion as the worriers were getting hunted by the aliens on their planets as preys. This movie was set in another planet which shows that this movie is adventure film.
