Film Posters- Print Based Analysis

Who is the audience?
-Age
Considering the age of Chris Evans (the man on the front of the magazine) I think that the age range for this magazine is approximately from the ages of 25-40.
-Gender
Males because it is a male magazine 'ELLE MEN' and because their is a man on the cover 'Chris Evans'. Additionally all of the text surrounding the magazine is associated with the male target audience in mind.
-Socio-economic group
C1-C2
-What elements suggest this is the audience? 
I think that this is suggested to be the audience because it is sophisticated however it is aimed at a more affordable price range for it audience. 


Who is the audience?

-Age
I think that the age range for this magazine is approximately 18-late 20's.
-Gender
Females because the whole general look of the magazine is female dominated with stereotypical use of the colour pink (girl's colour). Additionally like the ELLE MEN magazine the text on the magazine is targeted at females. With famous females names like Sarah Hyland and Taylor Swift on the cover it attracts a female dominated audience.
-Socio-economic group
C1-C2/E
-What elements suggest this is the audience?
I think the fact that the text is talking about grades indicates that it is targeted at students. As well as being targeted at students an older audience is drawn in because the use of people within a similar age range or slightly older which could be seen as role models. 
Who is the audience?

-Age 
The age rating is 15. However from the poster you can tell it is a horror film and the film is targeted at a 15-25 audience.
-Gender
I would say that the film is targeted at both Male and Females as it is a horror film and it is not stereotypically targeted at a specific audience.
-Socio-economic group
N/A
-What elements suggest this is the audience?
I don't think that it can be classified into one stereotypical audience because horror draws in a wide audience as it is typically meant to scare everyone no matter what class they are in. This is why horror films are so successful because they draw in a large audience.
-What is the Narrative/Genre of the film? Why do you think this?
Horror film - low key lighting, from the makers of horror films, terrified characters on the cover. 


Who is the audience?

-Age
U/all ages however mainly targeted at 3+ because it is a 'Disney' film and they are a popular and famous franchise that are well known for their films being loved by wide audience.
-Gender
Female dominated
-Socio-economic group
N/A
-What elements suggest this is the audience?
I don't think that this particularly has one socio-economic group just like the horror genre. This is because it is a Disney film and this is a built up a franchise where films are loved by all ages and all social classes. They have built themselves up a reputation where they can virtually sell any film based on their brand.
-What is the Narrative/Genre of the film? Why do you think this?
Instantly you can see it is a remake of the original Disney film 'Cinderella' however it is now a live action film. Therefore you would know the narrative of the film roughly. However they managed to still sell the film even though everyone has already essentially seen it because of the update in technology. Additionally you can tell it is going to be mainly targeted at all ages because of the release date. This is because it is due to be released at the start of summer block busters, gaining the most profit.
