There are 4 key features to making a blockbuster movie:

1) A-list celebrities, the film should feature a star studded cast in this case featuring the likes of Robert Downey, jr, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo.
2) BIG BUDGET - A budget of £220 million
3)SPECIAL EFFECTS
4)Not a comedy 


The film contains more than 2,200 visual effects shots completed by 14 companies: Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Weta Digital, Scanline VFX, Hydraulx, Fuel VFX, Evil Eye Pictures, Luma Pictures, Cantina Creative, Trixter,Modus FX, Whiskytree, Digital Domain, The Third Floor and Method Design. ILM was the lead vendor and shared responsibility for creating many of the film's key effects, including the Helicarrier, the New York cityscape, digital body doubles, Iron Man and the Hulk. To create the on-screen Hulk, Ruffalo performed in a motion-capture suit on set with the other actors while four motion-capture HD cameras (two full body, two focused on his face) captured his face and body movements.^[111] Jeff White, ILM's visual effects supervisor, said, "We really wanted to utilize everything we've developed the last 10 years and make it a pretty spectacular Hulk. One of the great design decisions was to incorporate Mark Ruffalo into the look of him. So, much of Hulk is based on Ruffalo and his performance, not only in motion capture and on set, but down to his eyes, his teeth, and his tongue.

Male gaze

My analysis of Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea's video for their song 'Booty'.

From the begin (26 seconds) we are presented with a picture of J-Lo's bum, this immediately captivates the male audience's attention and gaze. The use of her body intends to bring the audience into an almost trance like state, in which they do not take much notice of her music which is not particulary good or a selling point.  

When reaching 31 seconds we are then shown both of the women wearing little clothing 'twerking' on each other, once again they use their bodys as a selling point which takes away the male/female audience's attention from the average music.

Upon 50 seconds we are shown Iggy provocatively dancing with her bum facing the camera which connotes intent to attract the male viewer in sexualised way. Her lack of clothing supports the sexualisation of her body towards a viewer that may be attracted to her. 

When reaching 1:38 we are shown J-Lo gazing intently down the camera which connotes sexual intent towards the viewer and a desire. In addition her shirt is undone leaving her bra on show, this sexualisation of her body is again a deliberate ploy to entice the viewer into an almost 'fantasy'. 

Additionally we are presented with J-Lo facing the camera with her gaze fixed on the camera and lips slightly picked which also connotes sexual feelings towards the viewer, who by the nature of the video is going to be most likely a adolescent male.
