medium close up  shot  M|C

This shot is a medium close up shot because you can only see the head to the shoulders.
The police officers are staring at the protagonist its really unlucky the protagonist will win because 4 versus 1 is not ideal and normally 4 people will win. If the protagonist losses then the antagonists will win and saved like half of the film.

    wide shot/ establishing shot (WS/ES)

This shot is an establishing shot in a ally way were you can see a broken down car.I think this part of the city is the run down area where the action will be taken place an action sequence is starting.

key concepts : DERDD 3D


language: The destroyed buildings show the city is the theme of  dystopia. The title and the tag-line are very interesting because of the background and judge dredd is on a building.

institution : Pete Travis has directed many films but dredd is special because this film is the only film he has made which is sci-fi but John wager has produced a dredd on 1995 with Silvester Stallone to be Judge derdd

audience: This film looks like to be more a male audience than  a female  audience because of the violence and the lead character is a male and he has a female character with him to make the film sexist. This film would be 18+ because of the drugs in the film.




  representation: The image of a man on a building shows allot of male dominance in this film. The destroyed buildings in this film makes the impression the city is dystopia.

This film can go down for dystopia because of the ruined city which the cops are trying to regain. The film is like a superhero type because of the comic book which the film is based.

Critical reception: people who reviewed the film dredd was really good with a fresh certified rating on the webpage of rotten tomatoes.

 Target audience: I don't want to be biased but I think the film was made for more males then females. I think a 70% male to 30% female audience. The age rating is 18+ for the violence inside the film. The age rating which would like this film would me 18 or higher because the theme of the film is not for children for example really heavy violence is in this film.
