In the lesson on the 21st of October, we were looking at and planning our ideads for our first opening 2 minutes of our movie.
 Our group (Emma, Bryony, Jordan and I) decides that we are going to do a horror, as we can find good ideas for the opening 2 minutes, we decides to watch a couple of trailers and a couple of opening scenes to give up some ideas about what we could do, we looked at the opening scene of Dawn of the dead (Which is a zombie apocalypse) and that wasnt really the one for us. We also watched

Audience Profiling - The Ring

-From this comparable profile of the ring i can infer that the age range of 15-24 has a higher percentage of watching the ring than the other age generation. From the table i can infer that more female watch the ring with a percentage of 54% and the percentage of male is 46%. The percenatge of class range from 16-45% which is a difference. The largest percentage of viewers come from the middle upper class. This shows and infers that the main audeince that watch this film range from 15-24year olds which are females and are the middle upper class this is because its a gorry film and it shows that the older generation dont like gorry films.The reason why more females watch this is because they relate to whats going on in the film and using a child appeals to a matunral instinct.

Step Brothers - Comedy

Step Brothers is a 2008 comedy film starring Will Ferrell and John C Reilly. The plot of Step Brothers is two middle aged men that still live with their parents at home, Will Ferrel (Brennen) with him mother, and John C Reilly (Dale) with his father. Their parents meet and fall in love at the surprise of their very similar lifestyles. Both of the sons are forced to live together and the conflict between them at the start is very negative, just like in real life (When siblings fight), which relates to the maturity levels of the individuals. Their parents warn them that they must find jobs within a month or else be forced out of the house. When Brennan's younger brother Derek (Adam Scott) comes to visit with his oddly perfect family, he too mocks them and leads Dale to punch him in the face. Brennan is awed that Dale was able to stand up to Derek. Meanwhile, Brennan's sister-in-law Alice (Kathryn Hahn) who is also resentful of Derek, finds Dale's courage a turn on. Brennan and Dale discover their many shared interests and develop a strong personal bond.
The attempts at the job are poor from both Brennen and Dale, showing that they are lazy and that they dont care about finding a job, and they find themselves only disrupupting the relationship of Nancy and Robert (Parents) which results to a divorce. Once this has happened both sons get a job and move on with their lives, Brennen goes and works for his brother Derek, and Dale becomes a chef.
They then meet again at a festival hosted by Brennen as his new job, and the food is cooked by Dale which links the whole family back together as they both invite each of their parents making Nancy and Robert force conversation. The family is then restored through a musical performance from both Dale and Brennen as the band previously set up were forced to leave.

The film contains a lot of mixed humour which many different people can relate and connect to, even the fact that both 40 year old Dale and 39 year old Brennen still live at home with their parents immediately adds a humourous background and start to the film.

Overall I think that this film is a humourous and very enjoyable film, as sometimes it can relate to things in life, this makes it funnier and more relatible to the viewers.
