Tatum, Amanda Seyfried ‘Dear John’ is an incredible love story staring two very
famous actors Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried. These characters are extremely
well known to the younger generation; they have4 been in fantastic films such
as Mamma Mia and Magic mike. They are both extremely charismatic and charming which
entices a certain young audience.
The scene of the film has a close up shot of Channing
looking away from the camera looking into the distance and the group of friends
walk behind him. This creates his character that he is lonely and relaxed however
seems envious of the company. When Amanda Siefried’s bag gets pushed in there
is a heroic long shot of Channing jumping of the dock. The shot then changes as
he is underwater, it is fairly dark which creates an eary atmosphere. He then walks out on to the beach and re-enacts
a bay watch type scenario, this is the first time the two characters meet and
there is instant chemistry. This ‘love at first sight’ image that is presented
is very appealing to the audience as it is known as there ideal set up for many
young people, especially with the extremely good looking Channing. It has very calming music in the back ground
which increases the dreamy mood when the handsome muscular character saves the
day. There is also screams from Amanda as the bag falls presenting the heroine
persona being scared and over dramatic. Also the boy who dropped it shouts and
attempts to get it back but doesn’t get there in time. This gives the idea that
Channing is better than other men.
This film in a 12A certificate which does allow some sexual
natures however as a 12A does not include the intense love scenes that some
other romances have which can attract a slightly older audience. However I
would say the age target could range from 12- 18 because of the actors/actresses
that appear in many other films.
