Zombieland

• The target audience for this film would be teenagers to adults I would guess at 16-30 age group. As it is rated 15 film, is very gory although also includes a lot of humour.
• The probable reading of this text is an entertaining light hearted zombie film, including lots of action and controversial humour. Zombieland defiantly isn't as dark as other zombie horror films and is relate able.
• A possible way the audience might read the text is an adrenaline fuelled film that makes you jump, with a lot of gore and inappropriate killing. This could be the view of an audience member who does not often watch horror films and is not a big fan of them.
• Representing British teenagers I think it is a very entertaining film as it manages to mix the genre of horror and comedy together which are regarded as at the opposite ends of the movie spectrum to each other. It is good as it is different and not as emotional or gloomy as most horror films.
