7. Target Audience
• I think that the target audience of these films
will be the same as the film trailers. I think
that these posters are aimed at mostly a male
audience, aged 15-24 and within the C1 class.
• I want to aim for the same audience so I will
be intertextual and lift ideas from different
posters to use on my own.

8. My poster
• I want my superhero poster to follow the
same trend as these posters. This is how my
poster will be structured.

structure as my finished poster will have. I do
however, like the effect caused by the
silhouette on the white background. This may
be an idea to play with whilst designing my
poster.
