Target Audience -
The target audience for Arrow would be teenagers and fans of the comics. For the teenagers it has the action and adventure that would excite many.
In Arrow there isn't a message to each episode and this also shows as there is one general story that goes through the entire series. Due to this the show is very good at making you watch in a batch as they end most episodes with cliff hangers and this means that having a message in each individual episode would be very difficult to implement.
Story - The story that surrounds the first episode (and the continuation of the first season) is that after 5 years on a deserted island, billionaire Oliver Queen comes home after being saved. As he tries to rejoin society, his best friend Tommy and him are abducted by a group of men interested in knowing what Oliver's dad told him before he died. The pair escape as Oliver kills the captures while Tommy is unconscious. Oliver's mother, Moira, orders Oliver to have a bodyguard with him at all times in response to the kidnapping.
Oliver quickly sneaks away from his new bodyguard, John Diggle, and begins to make his lair underneath an abandoned warehouse. This is where the story begins to take place.
Characters -
The characters in the pilot episode were brought in to introduce the characters, their motives and to add suspicion about certain characters, which does come into play later on in the series.Oliver Queen is played by Stephen Amell and was one of the first actors to audition for the role. For him the appeal of portraying Oliver Queen was that he saw multiple roles that were tied to the same characters. He said that the roles were: 'The casual playboy', 'The wounded hero', 'The brooding Hamlet', ' The lover', and 'The man of action'.
John Diggle is played by David Ramsey. He plays Oliver's bodyguard and later close friend who aids him in his vigilante life style. The character had never been in the comics and the actor later said that it allowed him to 'just kind of take [his character], and run with it'
Laurel Lance is played by Katie Cassidy. The character in the comics is the vigilante Black Canary. The actress said that she wanted to be a part of the show due to the development team behind it. The character is Oliver's ex - girlfriend who he cheated on before he was stranded on the deserted island.
Detective Quentin Lance is the detective in the police force and is the father of Laurel and Sara.

Batman Arkham Knight:
Official Batman Arkham Knight Announcement Trailer
The Arkham Knight trailer is the announcement trailer for the last game in the Batman: Arkham series. The series has had 4 games (including Arkham Knight) and this announcement came on the 4th of March 2014. The last game had come on 18th October 2011, Batman: Arkham City.
Target Audience -
The target audience for the game would be fans of the previous games and new comers who hadn't played the previous games but had just heard about them. The main gender for this product is males aged 15 - 30 and would also include fans of Batman and the series.
The promotional video for the product doesn't show the product at all because at this point development hadn't began and this meant that the developers couldn't show the actual product. In later trailers they showed game play to show the audience what the game was like.
The trailer uses a logo which continues through all of the trailers and into the actual game. This meant that people could know what product they were looking at when the caught glimpses of the poster and advertisement. In the trailer there isn't a lot of information apart from the name of the product and some of the characters that will be in the game. Along with this it includes a release date (which was later moved twice due to development time) and a piece of downloadable content that is included with the game.
The trailer creates excitement about the game as at this point it had been 3 years since the last game (there was a game since then but it was made by a different developer and wasn't as good) so when the game was announced it meant that people were really excited for it.
