question 3

Super 8 target audience is a family audience. I know this by the promotional methods they use for the movie. It is shown in a way that will appeal to both children and adults making it a familly movie. For instance in print the observer says 'JJ Abrams meets Spielberg in a nostalgic homage to the films of his childhood. Make sure you stay until the very end' this shows that it will make the adults think back to their childhood so that they can identify with the charectors in the movie. So as well as the chidren being intertained by the antics of the charectors it also brings back memories for the adults watching it aswell. This is also backed up by the fact that the observer is a newspaper that adults usually read so this shows that ht emovie is also trying to branch out to adults because most adults would want to also be entertained when watching a movie with their familly so they look for one that will bring back memories for them and remind them of their own childhood.

In this trailer there is lots of action and mysery behind the 'Alien'. I think that this is made to appeal to adult audience as they are the ones paying for the movie so they would also want to be able to enjoy the film as well as the children. I think that this trailer has tried to balance it so that where as there is a lot of action, suspence and mystery behind the movie there is also a sence of adventure and the children having fun whcih will make them feel that this movie is suitable for them and their children.
