Audience *Question 4

When looking at the different types of audience that is associated to a particular genre, there is usually to many to group into one category. However if i was to stereotype the audience that would be interested in an action adventure genre it would be young men ,ranging from 15 and upwards. As this is such a wide audience the film had to be suitable to as much of the audience as possible which meant that it had to have enough action and excitement to attract viewers but also had to be suitable for a 15 rating. The film had to contain the codes and conventions to which people know to be involved in action films including, guns, explosions, fighting and possibly some romance. When looking for what an audience wants from and action film you usually find its a simple but effective narrative (The following using Todorov's narrative theory). The creation of a simple plot is not as easy as it sounds as it has to be simple for the audience to understand but still draw the audiences attention and also trying to use the main codes and conventions of an action film so it pleases regular action film viewers.
