  • The film is the first to break $200 million in three days. It destroyed the mark held by the previous weekend record-holderHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
  • It blew away even the superhero-record $158.4 million posted by The Dark Knight, and raised the bar considerably for the Batman franchise's upcoming adventure, The Dark Knight Rises, due out July 20. 
  • The opening-weekend audience was evenly split between the young (under age 25) and the older (over age 25), polling data showed. It was watched by women (40 percent) almost as much as men. It worked as a date-night movie (55 percent of ticket-buyers were part of couples), and a family movie (24 percent were part of a family group). 
                                                                                                                                  

  • The most popular DC character is Batman closely followed by superman. 









From watching things similar I gather that the target audience would be ranging from teenagers to people in their mid-thirties making our target audience a younger demographic. Younger people like comedy and a lot of young people watch films making them interested in films in general. People of this age could be watching these programmes before or after the 'watershed' depending on the style and genre of the programme. From this I would say that the programme would be viewed after the watershed just to be on the safe side.

  • Review videos such as 'What The Flick' and 'SourceFedNERD' are good examples of the types of programmes or films that people review.
The guardian says that the best film of 2014 so far is The Lego Movie.

Movie Talk


These types of programmes usually start with a presenter giving a brief introduction on what the show is by welcoming who they have on the show -guests who then begin to explain the topic they are discussing. 
The debate then begins having one person start with their opinion, whilst they are opening next to them is a photo graphic with a photo linking to the topic -the photo usually changes depending on what the person is saying. They tell us their main points in a limited amount of time before moving on to the next person's point of view. Their is usually a graphic on screen telling us who the person speaking is and what their argument is. 




During the debate the other person often objects like in a jury allowing the presenter to mediate the argument and decide whether to agree or disagree with the statement. 
At the end of the two debates the presenter then asked the 2 apposing sides close their argument in 45 seconds. Then the presenter told the audience to vote in the poll on who's argument was better and who won the versus that week. 

I think that this program was able to remain interesting as it had two people with opposing opinions which made it funny and relatable which helped the audience keep engaged with it. The topics had a big following and they were topics that  different people have several opinions on. I think it's simplicity is something that makes it quite interesting as you're not focusing on anything distracting you from the dialogue happening between the people so it feels more personal.


Programmes like this target their audience by appealing to their personal opinions. Their audience are normally people who like film; the mainstreamers and aspirers as the films discussed usually have a fanbase and they are normally watched by a lot of people. Aspirers look for something new and exciting to get involved in and a lot of the films mentioned and debated about in these types of programmes are just that. They're your Spiderman's, your Ironman's and your Avengers.


Thinking about this programme compared with the one we hope to make I would say we would follow some of the structure of this programme but we will include more humour and it will be more relaxed instead of a formal debate it will be set out more like a discussion. We would also include more VT's and possibly more graphics to make it more light-hearted and interesting.
