The opening starts off with four people in a car driving out in the middle of the country in a medium sized family car. The fact that they drive out into the middle of nowhere gives the audience its first sense of what the film is about. The audience know the films name (into the storm) and so can straightaway infer it probably has wind, rain and lots of damage. With the setting being set in the middle of nowhere and with the title's name being known before the movie even starts it means that the audience know that there is going to be a lot of action from natural forces such as a tornado, hurricane or a typhoon.
From this table i can find out that the main age range that watched this film was the 15-24 year old. This may be because the action genre appeals to a younger audience who prefer all the explosions, natural disasters and destruction. The film was watched by mainly men with 59% of the audience being men. This shows that men are more likely to watch the horror genre than woman. This could be because it has a lot of violence in the movies, this contradicts with the stereotypical view of woman where they prefer a sappy love romance.The middle class tended to like this film the most with 71% overall whereas the lower and upper classes didn't see it as much this could be because their tastes are maybe different. The violence could be a main contributor to a low interest rate from the upper classes because they maybe don't want to see as much of the destruction and violence as the middle classes who could probably aldo relate more to the characters as they are not rich or poor butare working class meaning the middle andworking class audience can relate more with the character shown on screen.
Gender
the gender who usually watches the action genre the most is men because they feel like they can relate to the main character more as it is predominantly male and is the spitting image of what men think they should aspire to be. They believe they should have big muscles, tough look and shouldn't be affected by anything emotionally.
Class and race
usually the class which watches the action genre is the working class. This means that when the director is making a hero he usually makes him working class so almost the entire audience can relate to the character. That is also why they make the villain usually upper class and rich people. Its because the working class maybe feel a little like the upper class are constantly being better than them so in the movie they usually make the hero kill a rich businessman so the audience can relate.
The villain is usually someone of eastern influence with a typical eastern accent. This could of originated from the cold war where America believed that the one true threat in the world was in the east in the shape of communism and so based their characters of what they believe was abnormal and evil. The character also is usually a bit camp and snobby usually with a great background but a bad experience which changed their life for the worse. This is another thing Hollywood usually shows as an abnormality and therefore isn't a good thing to be.
Character- usually a ex soldier who is really muscular for some reasons. dresses in modern clothes but not really ever a suit unless its for a reason i.e. ironman because he is rich.
Has military experiance and is working a normal job after being kicked out of the army or special services.
Age- the age range for people who usually watch the action genre is anywhere between the teenager age group and an adult. This is because people who are this age generally like more explosion, car chases, guns and any other weapon which can cause destruction.
Gender- the people which prefer action movies are usually male because quite a lot of woman can find the genre just too violent and may thinks the explosions are unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. about 70% of the audiences who watch the action genre are men and only 30% are woman suggesting men like the genre a lot more.
