Why are these two adverts, in their own way, Action and Adventure films?

The Audi advertisement promoting Iron Man 3 is an action adventure movie because they have created a spectacle. They have shown some of the most dramatic parts of the Iron Man film, such as the explosions and Iron Man falling into the sea. They also show the high octane moments along with the trials and tribulations Iron Man has to face, such as catching people falling out of a plane. They then show Tony Stark climbing into the advertised car and going at high speeds. They advertise the perks of the job Tony Stark has. The car chase is also significant as there are lots of car chases in action movies like Iron Man. Iron Man is a film for people of all ages, so it would reach Audi's target market easily.

Archetypes



Harry Potter



Batman and Robin
"Archetype" is a broad term used to describe any given type of character, personality, symbol, or other literary device that is widely recognized and used. In literature, the term almost always refers to a type of generic character personality that appears in many literary works. The "mad scientist," is a character archetype because it is almost universally recognized and widely used in films like Frankenstein and the Back to the Future trilogy. The term may, alternatively, be used to refer to the original use of an often-reused character or personality type. Archetypes are used in a variety of types of literature, but most are thought to originate in early (Greek, Roman and Celt) mythology.

 Some of the classic Archetypes in movies include:

Protagonist - Harry Potter (Harry Potter), Superman (Superman), Batman (Batman), Robin Hood (Robin Hood), Frodo Baggins (Lord of the Rings)
