I am making this blog to further my studies in film and to analyze certain genres and techniques in the film industry. I am from Florida and currently attend Cypress Bay high school.

Why Super Hero Movies Are So Popular

 

Action Movies

Super Hero movies have been around for decades but the formula has stayed relatively the same. It starts with a backstory as to why the superheroes became the hero and the purpose as to why he fights villains. It then leads to him meeting up with a team of side characters which aids the main hero to defeat the villain. Once the villain and the hero finally meet up they exchange words and fight which is the climax movie and the villain either gets defeating or escapes for another movie.

Genre conventions – production techniques
The movie's color schemes depending on the production can either be gritty or the can be colorful. For example, the DC movies have more of a gritty filter while Marvel movies have a more colorful filter with a brighter more happy color palette.

These superhero movies are usually marketed to kids, teens, and to adults as a movie you can see with the whole family. Since the Movies are family-friendly most of the time they can market to a wide variety of people. Their main targets are teens and pre-teens as they can see the movie with their friends on their own.

Iron Man is a great example of the genre embodiment as it follows the superhero formula perfectly. The beginning talks about his backstory and as to why he is doing what he is doing he then defeats the villain.

Spider-man Homecoming is another great example of a film that embodies the genre as it firsts starts off with him at his high school and on a school field trip to Italy and there he meets his villain Mysteriowhich he battles in various locations. It ends with him defeating Mysterio but Mysterio exposes Spiderman to the whole world which entails that there will be another movie.
