From these demographic breakdowns i can deduce that the majority gender these films are aimed at are males. I highly suspect it is because of the action in these films. However what is very interesting how the highest ratings are from males aged under 18, even though 1day is a certified 18 rating. however this information is useful because it gives a greater understanding as to why the posters are created like they are. Because these films are aimed at young people, they feel like they can relate to it, however as people get older they do not seem to grasp the themes with as much interest, with Shank and 1Day scoring 3.9/10 between the ages of 18-29. However 4.3.2.1 scores a much higher rating between this age catagory, scoring 6.8/10 which is a very respectable score for a film of this genre from a secondary audience. 4.3.2.1 is rated higher on all of the catagories as well, this shows how it has a stronger plot, and its themes run across a wider age bracket. The main themes that i can deduce from the trailer are:
there is lots of violence, however it is not caracatured, it is kept within the respected boundries that the film has set. unlike the others there is not a massive amount of shooting, however 1 day and shank both show gun crime between gangs. Even though these themes are important i want to show them in a realistic manner.
Another theme that runs throughout and is important is the use of women, in 1 day and shank they both show women but show them in a very masculine way, undoubtly this is true in 4.3.2.1 however it has been made to look sexy and to attract the male audience.
When making my trailer i need to be respective to the sensitive nature of both of these subject matters, and need to portray them in a sensible way. i dont like how in these films people can pull a gun in the middle of the street, even though gun crime is high at the moment, i see it as realistic. Also with the women element i need to be sensitive because if i create something that materializes women then it is completely excluding that audience.
