A Knight's Tale, not just for the teens
The average person has an attention span of less than 30 seconds, if their attention isn't peaked, more than likely, they will stop paying attention. Throughout much of this trailer there are a variety of short fast scenes, and at least one of them is guaranteed to peak your interest.
A middle aged audience is filled with men going through a mid-life crisis and women looking to be entertained and happy.
The men will be pleased with this trailer as each gets to imagine being in Heath Ledger's position, living out the dream of becoming a knight and getting the beautiful maiden in the end.
The women get to watch action not filled with blood and guts; all the while watching a love story unfold around a handsome man that sweeps the young woman off her feet.
There is also a nice display of wit and humor that most adults will find they are entertained with. There isn't any slapstick humor that tends to dictate teenage shows, but good old-fashioned humor that involves some intelligence to fully comprehend.

I agree that most middle-aged men would be intrigued by the action that this movie has in store. And the women, like you said always are won over by the love story hidden behind most war movies. By mentioning the humor that is filled in this movie, I believe you captured the attention of a middle-aged audience.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job picking this trailer to appeal to the middle age group. I agree with the fact that people get turned off after 30 seconds, sometimes even shorter if extremely bored. But this video grabs the attention of its viewers by the short clips and sounds throughout the trailer. This video clip makes men and women interested, adding actions scenes for the men and a love story for the women. Great movie choice, I definitely want to see this movie now.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job summarizing the movie. I've seen it a a few times and really liked it. Men are obviously attracted to the movie by the action scenes and the overall old time style, but women are also attracted by the love story that is portrayed by Ledger and his woman. A great preview for the film.
