Unit 6 Assignment 1 Prezi notes (Arrow analysis)

Audience
The audience for this programme would be mostly men, age range from 16-40, and a lot of this audience would be superhero/comic book fans as it is based on a fictional character from a DC comic collection. The people who i would think have the oppositional reading are old people and parents. This is because old people wouldn't appreciate the violence and probably wouldn't understand the concept the narrative. Parents may also have the oppositional reading as they might not want their children to watch the violence within it.

Mode of Address
The mode of address has a very serious and dramatic tone which helps to build tension throughout it and you will begin to feel sympathy for some of the characters.

Genre
The genres of this tv show would be:
-Superhero fiction
-Drama
-Action
-Mystery
The generic conventions of this tv series are very distinctive. We have a hooded vigilante who conseals his real identity using a name I.e. The hood (as he is named by the detective) and he distorts his voice. This is to protect his family and friends from danger. He fights crime to protect the city but he does occasionally kill people which is something a bit different from your usual heros I.e. Batman or spiderman. He also has sidekicks who help him either on the field or tracking people down, and they do this from a secret 'lair' where he keeps all of his weaponry and hardware. Like all superhero series there's a villain or in this case a number of villains who the hero has to stop in order to protect others.
