Genre Research: Action

We decided to research the genre of action. There are many common camera angles found in thriller movies. These include: 
  • Tracking shot  
  • Point of View  
  • Low Angle  

Some of the commonly used sound elements used in comedy films include: 

  • Diegetic sound 
  • Incidental music  
  • Dialogue 

 

Some of the common Mis-En-Scene elements found in comedy movies include: 

Costumes: 

  • Everyday clothes 
  • Darker tones clothes 

Lighting: 

  • Dim lighting 
  • Lower exposure 
  • Mostly during the night 

Acting: 

  • Lots of movement, running, escaping, etc. 
  • Lots of fear, worry, or motivation and perseverance. 
  • Injuries  

Makeup: 

  • Light/minimal face makeup 
  • Fake wounds 

Props: 

  • Weapons  
  • Personal belongings  
  • Money  
  • Food  
  • Fake blood 

Setting: 

  • Downtown 
  • Unfamiliar place  
  • Woods  
  • Transportation  
  • Houses 

 

Finally, some of the frequently used editing techniques in action movies include: 

  • Cross Cutting  
  • Cutaway  
  • Action Match  
  • Shot reverse shot  

 

Example films of your genre: 

  • Top Gun (2022) Joseph Kosinski  
  • Uncharted (2022) Ruben Fleischer 
  • The Batman (2022) Matt Reeves 

What elements of the genre that you like? 

I like that this genre needs a lot of movement and events to happen. The audience never gets bored while watching it, which makes it easier to be entertaining.  

 

What elements of the genre do not appeal to you? 

Some elements that are not appealing are the amount of violence needed to convey this genre correctly, such as physical violence or the use of weapons. Moreover, it makes it a bit challenging to create a storyboard: it needs to be full of action but also needs to flow and make sense.
