If you could live in any period of time where would you choose to live?
I'd live in the future because there would be more technology and I could live in space. Hopefully in the future there'd be no discrimination.

Who are sifi films aimed a

I think science fiction films are aimed at men age 18-30.

Star wars: the force awakens is a mainstream sifi film because it's aimed at everyone and most people like it. The UK age certificate is 12A so most people can watch it. It has mostly action but also has some romance which attracts more people.













Niche films are aimed at specific audiences so not everyone likes them.

Adidas

Adidas
Adidas adverts include a lot of famous people probably to persuade people to buy their products. They also make it look like you will be good at sports if you wear their products. 



I like this advert because it's very inspirational. It shows lots of famous footballers wearing adidas so it would make fans of the footballers want the same clothes as them.



This older advert is also inspirational but doesn't involve anyone famous. It includes normal people doing sports or cheering.

I prefer the newer advert because it's more up to date and it grabs your attention. The colour electric green is used a lot, I think it connotes energy like you need energy to play sport so you need adidas to play sport.
