Die Hard 2- Mainstream Film

What do you think the film is about and what might the story be?

The title makes it clear this film is a sequel to the film Die Hard. The tagline is “Die harder.” which suggest the film is bigger and better than the first film. There is an explosion in the background which could represent violence and danger in the film. A very large building is on fire which suggests there is large scale danger in the film, making it more exciting. There is an aeroplane in the poster which is almost flying into the blazing fire which could represent the people in the plane are “getting into” danger. The character in the front looks like the protagonist because a close up shot is used of him to look more important.

What genre(s) do you think the film belongs to?

An action genre is signified because in the mise-en-scene, there is a large explosion in the background. The protagonist’s facial expression is serious and he has sweat on his face which also signifies action. Throughout the poster there is a red tint. The colour red connotes fire and heat which also adds to the theme of action.

Who do you think is the target audience?

The film will mainly appeal to males as there is lots of action and danger. The minimum age range would be 15 as this is the certificate rating, and appeal up to the age of 30. The film would appeal to explorers and C1/C2s on the socio-economics audience groups, because the action genre is exciting, daring and extravagant like their audience.
