Gladiator

• Main character
• Good personality (character) 
• Fights for himself 
• Others look up to him

We can see that Harry Potter is unstoppable to keep the audience interested because many movies have been made to continue the story of Harry Potter as the character hasn't stopped fighting or/and trying to solve the problems he has. This keeps the audience interested in the character because and also because he is the main character and what the movie is based on, if Harry Potter was stoppable then there would be no more than max 2 movies to keep the audience engaged. Even though Harry isn't physically strong, he manages to get passed his issues with villains in the movie and this makes him unstoppable.

For example in the movie where Voldemort, his enemy, is after him to kill him; he is helped my all his friends to get away from him and manages to kill some of the people who work for Voldemort.

My favourite hero is...

Jake Gyllenhaal !

I chose him because he is gorgeous and he is a great actor as he is able to play in any type genre.

In the movie prince of Persia he plays a hero which is physically strong and is able to fight and travel long distances across difficult terrain.

He is able to save everyone from the villain who is his uncle and he is able to prove to the people that he was innocent and didn't kill the king of Persia; this makes him more heroic.

Iconography and Setting

Iconography can be an object, shape or a costume from a hero or any character that represents them. For example in gladiator the swords and the armour is an icon of the roman gladiators. The weapons used in the mise en scene create tension and engage the audience to everything in the image (expressions, position...). In indiana jones, the costume and some of the props/weapons of the main character are an icon of the indiana jones movie. The gladiator image uses more setting because even though the background is blurry we can see that there is an audience watching the fight and we can make out the fighting pit in the background. The indiana jones setting shows a more outdoor background which relates to its genre; adventure.
