[--What techniques does the opening sequence use to appeal to a weekday mainstream audience?--]
By very suddenly engaging the audience, there are a mixture of fast and slow approaching camera shots used, specifically focused on people and objects such as the little girl playing with a skipping rope and the mysterious parked black car.
From this opening sequence we are also able to see calm movement and calm discussion between characters, not setting any kind of suspicions so impulsively for the audience.
Gradually, seconds after this, we experience new characters that firstly tend to be talking then naturally starting to be entertaining themselves, whilst secretively being recorded by other newly introduced characters that tend to be talking about taking over other peoples lives.
From this, the first enigmas of the opening narrative come in and we are left with an unsolved thought in our heads.


[--What does this text tell us about the media institutions involved?--]
The institutions that we can clearly see that are involved are the BBC. The BBC is a daily public service broadcaster for the United Kingdom, based in the Greater London.
Aims of the BBC tend to inform, educate and entertain their audieence.

HITMAN Poster Analysis ! ..

The mise en scene of the poster is set out with a strong plain silky red around the female’s body, which may connote evilness, blood and violence judging mainly from the colour red.
This could quite simply also be portrayed like this due to the fact that the woman is lying dead on the silk with a gun shot on her forehead.
The woman is shown to be wearing sexual clothing and therefore portraying a common stereotype about women. Some may be stereotyped as sex objects and whores, and this poster clearly shows us the apparent meaning.
The genre and theme for this narrative most likely tend to be action/thriller due to the fact that we can see a dead woman with a bullet wound on her head.

As the audience, we could expect to see and expect to experience a lot death while playing this video game, and not only because we can see a dead woman in the mise en scene of the layout of the poster but also from the sounds of the title. From the connotations of the word ‘Hitman’ we could refer

Questions On Harry Potter ! . .

1. - -
The key points emphasized in the trailer, is the whole misery of the return of Voldermort and his aim of demolishing Harry and his successful and unique supernatural abilities.
The trailer could have been chosen to be portrayed like this and show one of the main plots of the return of Voldemort in order to engage the audience in a more sophisticated kind of way, which would most easily attract their previous fans, as they would acknowledge the trailer better, knowing the characters and more of the storyline.

2. - -
The genre of the film is closest to a fantasy adventure, packed with plenty of attractive action alongside anxious music and masses of enigma codes.
The details of the film cleverly follow the same details of the previous Harry Potter films, alongside the same views on the lighting, sounds and mainly the complete setting. Although they are not specifically exactly the same, they still follow the same routine.

3. - -
I would consider the target audience for Harry Potter to be young aged youths, between the ages of 10-16.
The film shows to have records of a lot of binary oppositions and therefore very attracted to young audience.

4. - -
The trailer does not fully show the main highlights of the film, otherwise it would spoil certain mysteries to it, but showing some of the main highlights is they key attraction on appointing the audience of wanting them to come and see the whole movie.
