Science fiction holiday homework


Hitman: Agent 47.

The key information about the film/ media language:
Hitman: Agent 47 fits into the sub-genre experimental science. This is because certain people were experimented on and were turned into agents. They felt no emotion and only new how to kill and destroy. Centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the bar code tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47's past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own.

The institution behind the film:
On February 5, 2013, it was reported that 20th Century Fox  was developing a new film based on the Hitman video games. Rupert Friend as agent 47, a secret agent who works for a top secret non-government organization called the International Contracts Agency (known as either the ICA or just the Agency) which carries out the assassinations of high profile targets worldwide. Jesse Hergt as young Agent 47. Hannah Ware as Katia van Dees, Agent 9. Helena Pieska as young Katia. Zachary Quinto as John Smith, a high-ranking member of Syndicate Internationa. Ciarian Hinds as Dr. Litvenko, the founder of the Agent Program and Katia's father. Johannes Suhm as young Dr. Litvenko. Thomas Kretschmann as Antoine LeClerq, the chairman of an organization called Syndicate International. It is described as an international terrorist organization who are responsible for creating an army of unstoppable assassins in fighting against the ICA. Angelababy as Diana, the handler of Agent 47. Dan Bakkedahl as Sander. Emilio Rivera as Fabian, a member of Syndicate International. Rolf Kanies as Dr. Delriego/The Hunter. Jerry Hoffmann as Franco. It was released on August 21, 2015. Jim Gianopulos is the CEO  of 20th Century Fox. 20th Century Fox is famous for many movies such as X-men, Ice age, Drumline, Mr&Mrs Smith, Fantastic four and ect. It cost $24million to create Hitman. Hitman made $55.7million domestically. After reading the reviews, i have discovered that some people thought it was amazing and some people thought it was terrible.

The Target Audience: I think the target audience for Hitman: Agent 47 is for 15-35 year olds. Both genders but 60% males and 40% females.

  1. WWW: Shianne - you have made an amazing start to GCSE media - phenomenal attendance and commitment when you are here and great attention to detail in all things creative that you have done.

    EBI: This summer research project looks as though it has been largely copy and pasted - it is obvious from the formatting and some of the language used that barely any of it is yours.

    LR: at the very least I need a detailed (original) target audience analysis for the film you selected. Look at the comment I posted on Hardeka's blog which will help you to create some comments about the target audience. Be specific. Be original.
