Hello and welcome back! Today I will be discussing about the second genre I am considering doing for my two- minute film opening. My first option of a genre for my film opening was a drama film; however, my second genre I will choose is action.
Genre Conventions in an Action Film
Content
In an action film, there are many components that help piece the film together. For example, a strong, skillful protagonist, a compelling plot, and suspense help build up to the climax of the movie. These three examples are very important in establishing the background of what the film will be about and conform the plot of the whole film. A few other examples of what pieces an action film together is engaging music or stings and fast-pacing action such as fights, explosion and chases.
Techniques
Techniques are used heavily in action films such as camera and editing. Some camera techniques that are famously used in action films are tracking shots, handhelds, and Dutch angles. These kinds of techniques help build up to the climax of the film. Some editing techniques that were incorporated were cross cuttings and match cuts. These certain kinds of cuts help build up suspense.
Examples
Some examples of some action films that incorporate these elements are Top Gun: Maverick and Mad Max.
