Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train (2020)

Language 

This poster would be recognised as a poster for a series instead of a film because it's from the anime Demon Slayer. This is a movie and not a series because on the top left of the title it's written 'the movie'. 

The title 'Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train' is placed at the bottom in the center like any other film poster. Some of the characters are holding swords which shows that this is an action film and contains violence. The way that the blood is distributed highlights that there will be death and killing involved. 

The character on the top right corner has a mouth on its hand which suggests that this is a dark fantasy film because in the real world you wouldn't find anyone with mouth on their hand.

Audience 

The target audience for Demon Slayer is for teenagers because they are most likely to watch an animation film. Adults may if they've been anime fans since childhood. The target gender would be aimed at both males and females. People would like this movie if they are into anime or Japanese animated films that include action and dark fantasy. This movie is packed with awe-inspiring visuals but it also has emotional and heart-wrenching moments that might make the audiences cry. 

Representation 

All the characters that are holding swords are all male, so that applies to the stereotype that action heroes are male. The character on the top right corner has a mouth on its hand so that suggests that that character is a villain, this refers to the stereotype that villains are disfigured.
