ReplyDelete1) Normally the reviews and trailers make me interested in watching fantasy films.
2) sometimes they are most of the times cartoony or simple, but sometimes they now involve fantasy effects in adult films.
3)"Horton hears a who" its really childish but it really made me laugh
4) not normally no
5) the plot and the special effects also the voice overs
6)depends on what the film is because in each film the special effects change it
7) Yes i believe the films dont give as much information as the books do.
8) sometimes yeah again depends on the film im watching
9) i find if you just read the review you dont get the best overveiw of the film you have to see trailers sometimes or ask other people for their opinons.

ReplyDelete1 - The trailer
2- Yes, mostly for the teenage audience because they can try and relate to the film, using themselves.
3- Nemo, all the characters are easy to love, its fun for all the family.
4- No
5- The special effects are the best part of a fantasy film, adds more of an interest.
6- Realistic (most of the time)
7- Dont read them (sorry)
8- Yes
1)If the trailer for a fantasy film looks really good then i'll definaly go and see it.
ReplyDelete2)I think there targed mainly for children and teenagers becuase the storylines are usually easy watching, and not too complex for children and teeagers to have to think about when there watching.
3 Twilight because it makes a change from vampires being in dark and more horror like films.
4)No, becuase most of the things are expensive for what they actually are.
5)I think the plot makes or breaks a film, as long as it has a good plot, special effects are just a bonus.
6)Sometimes they can look really unrealistic and it can let the film down a little bit.
7)Yes becuase when a film is a book first it already builds a massive fanbase, and then when the film is realesed the fans are going to have big expectations, and sometimes the films just don't match up to the book.
8)Definatly would be 3rd.
9)I think fantasy films such as lord of the rings and harry potter are good films because they appeal to a wide auidence from young children to adults, but after a while people can get bored of hearing about them, they shouldn't make sooo many of them.

1) the majority of the time it will be a combination of trailers, word of mouth and whether I have already enjoyed the book.
ReplyDelete2) Many Fantasy films are aimed at a younger audience. However, films like the Lord of the Rings have deeper themes that would generally appeal to an adult demographic.
3)Lord of the Rings. 9 hours of cinematic majesty.
4)Rarely.
5)Special effects are key in recent times - ensuring longevity.
6)Realistic. Using too much green screen can have an adverse effect however.
7) Yes, they are considered classics and deserve faithful reproductions - focus on detail probs.
8) Generally, no
