Demographic Get Out 13-20 Year olds Male Black A-C2 Frozen 5-10 Year Olds Female White A-C2 Get Out has a primary audience of 13-20 Black males in the social grades A-C2. As this is a very small percentage of the population would the film be intended for, it would be a niche movie. However, after it was announced that Get Out would be nominated for an Oscar, the hype and therefore the range of people the film would appeal to expanded making the film a lot more mainstream

Kerrang! Textual Analysis

Key Words Masthead Puff Main image Skyline Main article headlines Pull quotes Of the Kerrang! covers show the majority have an emphasis on the colour red either in the font of the texts, the background or of the artist depicted. This would most likely be used to gain the attention of its audience as well as to create connotations of blood (it is a heavy metal magazine). The target demographic of the magazine would most likely be adolescent boys. The main image of the magazine's covers is a medium shot in an attempt to show their vast superiority of importance compared to everything else on the cover and therefore the world. A san serif font has been used as its meant to be a modern magazine.

Advertising Digital-Online/social media Traditional-print, radio, TV Above/below the line Cross media Synergy " Under our ownership Kerrang ! will take its rightful place at the heart of a global digital community of like-minded spirits. The platforms are there and, thanks to our recent experience with Mixmag , we know how to use them. Bauer Media will retain the rights in the UK and Europe "to continue broadcasting Kerrang !

" It doesn’t need to be a weekly because news in this area has g...

He also found that there were 8 character types Villain Helper Princess or prize Her father he donor The hero The false hero Dispatcher Levi Strauss' Binary Opposition Narrative tension is based on opposition or conflict. This cam be as simple as two characters fighting, but more often functions as an ideological level. Verisimilitude How real the world of the story appears to the audience- is it believable, for example Diegesis/diegetic world The world in which the film takes place Juxtaposition Placing one object next to another to create meaning Narrative Theory Theories that categorise narratives and find features to common them Action+Enigma Codes-Roland Barthes Action codes-what will happen next...
