NARRATIVE

Ethan and team take on their most impossible

mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate - an

International rogue organization as highly skilled as

they are, committed to destroying the IMF.(IMDB)

The film is in a liner narrative and continues

throughout in a chronological order.

GENRE

Mission impossible rouge nation is the fifth in the mission impossible series. It is

an action adventure spy thriller.

The use of the mission impossible theme tune has loud accents to create tension

and atmosphere throughout the film. However when they us opera music this

creates a false sense of security and as the tempo quickens the action reaches its

peak also. The use of spy technology and dangerous stunts shows that this film is

a spy action adventure. The use of a double crossing spy is a common element of a

spy film used in many spy films and it also features in the Kingsman. Often a

woman double crosses a male spy as he has fallen in love with her and cant see

that she is causing them trouble. This happens in mission impossible with Ilsa

Faust who is never made clear who's side she is on.

REPRESENTATION

Ethan Hunt is a senior field agent for the IMF, he is daring and

deemed unstoppable by everyone who knows him. He is

represented as athletic and very clever. This is the typical

representation of a strong male character representing gender.

Benji Dunn after the IMF is shut down Dunn finds himself

behind the desk working as normal again. He is extremely

intelligent and is a technology hacker and can control whatever

he wants. He is represented as loyal and trustworthy. The

representation here is gender.

AUDIENCE

As mission impossible is an age rating 12A this means that the audience is aimed from

around ages 12+ there are some violent scenes which makes it a 12A. The audience are

any ages from above this and not male or female specific. The use of opera in the film

such as nessun dorma and spy technology and the use of motorbikes and cars means

that there are features of the film which appeal to everyone's interests. The use of

famous actors such as Tom cruise and Simon Pegg will also attract an older audience as

they are often featured in films appealing to adults. This may see adults see the film as

they are recognised actors. The comedy side of the film appeals to teens and adults as

they enjoy the comical side of the film which shows tom cruise having things comically

go wrong when trying to complete a mission. The spy tech and action elements of the

film appeal to all as it is an exiting watch. The typical audience for this film will be

middle and lower class.

SEMANTIC AND SYNTACTIC ELEMENTS.

Semantic: Fast cars and motorbike chases, hand print touch

car unlocking technology, big explosions, stunts(hanging of the

side of a plane) parachute jumps. These are all semantic

elements for a mission impossible as a spy thriller.

Syntactic elements: Good VS Bad Ethan Hunt vs the

syndicate. The use of tension from dramatic music, action from

car chases and tension from exiting stunts which they are not

sure whether they will be able to pull of or not.

These are common elements used within the spy genre.

NARRATIVE

street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training

program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted

Initially the film starts in a war zone 16 years ago one of

the men dies and the next scene is of one of the kingsmen

telling his family it then jumps in time to the present day

and the rest of the narrative is in a liner fashion.

GENRE

The kingsman is an action adventure comedy spy film

In there film the use quick cuts in scenes and dramatic

soundtrack with many loud accents in creates tension and

excitement throughout the film. The face paced music

creates a sense of urgency and action. The

The use of a double crossing spy is also a narrative element

used within The Kingsman. Arthur is a double crossing spy

who turns out to be bad this is a common theme in spy films.

REPRESENTATION

The key characters in my film are:

Eggsy(Garry) Unwin a teenager who gets caught up getting into trouble with his

mothers boyfriend who is seen as the head of his gang of friends. They take great

delight in getting eggsy into trouble. Eggsy is represented as a typical trouble making

teenager at the beginning of the film but by the end the representation changes and he

becomes a hero. The representation used here is an age representation snd a class

representation.

Valentine is an evil super-villain who wants too have a “Culling” of many humans to

ensure the human planet does not get over populated and “destroy the host”(the earth)

Valentine is represented as a rich power-hungry evil mastermind. The representation

used here is class and status.

Harry is a kingsman agent, he watches over Eggsy and when he is in trouble always

is ready to help. He is always dressed in a custom suit and appears to be the owner of

the Kingsman tailors( which is the cover up for him being a spy) he is a typical

representation of an upper class male who is well spoken and well dressed. The

representation used here is class and status and also gender.

AUDIENCE

The audience for the Kingsman secret service are ages 15v and above.

The use of gore and violence is prominent throughout the film are there

are many uses of sexual references for comical effect which would be

inappropriate for children younger. The audience is mainly 15-25 as the

main character Eggsy is a rebellious teen himself so teenagers can relate.

However the use of Colin Firth as his mentor may also encourage adults

to want to see the film also as he is a well respected actor and if he is in

the film it is going to be expected to be good. The typical type of people

who will want to see this film will be middle and lower class teenagers

who enjoy comedy and action.

SEMANTIC AND SYNTACTIC ELEMENTS

Semantic elements such as guns, hand grenades,

poison and posh airplanes. These are all semantic

elements which are involved with a spy action film.

Syntactic elements such as action made by fight

scenes, tension created by the spy's not knowing if

they can trust eachother.
