Research of fantasy films Fantasy films are films

Research of fantasy films. Fantasy films are films with fantastic themes, usually involving magic, supernatural events, make-believe creatures, or exotic fantasy worlds. The genre is considered to be linked to science fiction film and horror film, although the genres do overlap, and to have been taken from these genre’s. Fantasy films have a big history almost. Fantasy films were relatively few and far between until the 1980 s, when high-tech filmmaking techniques and increased audience interest caused the genre to flourish. Fantasy films have created a lot of money and some of the most popular money making films to date are; The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (with £ 747, 483, 108. 12), The Dark Knight (with £ 657, 812, 576. 63), Star Wars (with $4. 3 billion).

Research of titles. Film Title Design is and always has been an essential part of any motion picture, when watching a film the titles introduce you to what the genre of the film is, whom is starring in it ect. But with a fantasy film’s titles they have a deeper meaning, some have a narrator telling you what the film is about (Bedtime Stories, 2008) and some have animations of the genre and objects. Some of the best films in the fantasy genre which have very good titles are; Pan’s Labyrinth, The Wizard of Oz and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Research into target audiences. The target audience for my film is 8 -30 year olds, with both sex’s. I have chosen such a gapped age range because people may be interested in different things, with what appeals to them. I have researched into what is the top rated films for certain age groups within the fantasy genre; Under 18 Twilight 9. 38 18 to 24 Twilight 8. 82 25 to 34 Kingdom of Heaven 9. 27 35 to 44 Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit 9. 67 45 to 54 Finding Nemo 8. 93 This helps me because I am able to link with these sorts of films and compare them to how well I think mine will be with my target audience.
