Technophobes

 It will be a fly on the wall type documentary, a big brother type of thing. The house will be filled with technology and force the people who are scare of the technology to use it, and overcome their fear of technology. I would put an attractive young male and an attractive young female to attract the male gaze and the female gaze. Mainly students will watch it, so probably people in socio economic classes E D and C1. Also there will be a 30 year old male and female, and also a much older male and female. The target audience of BBC3 is a young audience and is roughly equally watched by males and females. It will be shown at roughly 10:30, after the watershed so that swearing and other things can be included such as any sexual activities. There will be a voice over also.

2) How are males represented in the trailer?

Media Audiences:

3) What is the target audience for the film?

Media Institutions:

4) What values and characteristics of Hollywood are shown in the trailer?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1) The film trailer for the film Shaun Of The Dead is constructed to keep the mainly British audience engaged . It uses any different techniques to keep the audience engaged , it uses comedy to keep everyone watching engaged as everyone likes a a bit of comedy. Furthermore the trailer contains a celebrity news reader from the channel sky news to add some aspect of seriousness to the trailer even though it's a comedy . 


2) The two main male characters are seen to be very laid back in a time of distress and panic . They're shown to not be very intelligent as they don't realise that there is a zombie invasion . For example when one the characters mid way through an escape stops so answer his phone . However there is a more sinister side to the men as they're trying to save Shauns mother.

3) The main audience for the film audience is most definitely a British mainly male demographic .I personally enjoy films like this and i think the film is targeted at my demographic  , 13-26 Male , British . I can tell this from the very British things included in the film , the main actors are from the Uk , a Pub is used as one of the main shooting locations .
