Genre Research: Action


  • Common Camera Angles, Shots and Movements: High and Low angle, Birds Eye Views, Tracking Shots, Side Views, Establishing Shots
  • Common Mis-En-Scene: Occasional comedy, Large and intricate movie sets (they get destroyed), Abundance of creative prop usage to create fake glass and prop weapons, Intense usage of costumes to differentiate background characters from main characters, Use of lighting to create tense feelings in audience (flashing lights, dim lights)
  • Common Editing: Jump Cuts, Cuts, Fade Aways, Cross Cuts, Dissolve, Inserts
  • Common Sounds:  Dialogue, Intense music leaving audience on edge of their seats, Sound Bridges, Ambient Sounds to immerse audience
  • Examples of movies: Bullet Train, The Gray Man, Ghosted, The John Wick Series
  • Elements of the Genre that I like: There's a lot of freedom in the action genre and there's loads of possibility to use different film aspects to drastically change the "action" in your film. Action movies are extremely entertaining and can have audiences glued to the screen if done correctly. Action movies are very thrilling and suspenseful and never have dull moments. Action movies an have an emphasis on the actors allowing more improvisation and creativity
  • Elements of Genre that I dislike: Action movies can become repetitive and boring if done poorly. Action movies rely on expensive budgets to create appealing scenes and eye catching visuals which makes them very difficult to recreate. Action movies can become very cliche and cringy if done poorly

The titles also include where the film is taking place. The last title to be shown is the title of the movie itself and then the background changes to a very bright red emphasizing the film title apart from the rest. The images emphasized during the opening sequence are that of terrorists which sets the concept of the movie up and gives the audience an understanding of what they're about to watch. They also show documents that appear to be federal or secretive in the background with more mugshots of terrorist with lines connecting all of the mugshots and documents. The film establishes the thriller genre with the use of a serious and off-putting font. The faded effect on the font also adds on to the immersion of the audience and the use of ominous and exhilarating music. The animation of th...

Our Pitch

Image
These are our pitches we came up with for our opening sequence Pitch A: A group of students plan out an innocent camping trip and begin to find out that there is something out there, something watching them the entire time. Pitch B: A family hires a personal chef, the chef sneakily steals items from their house covering his tracks no matter the cost. Pitch A seemed a little cliche to us at first but it was a very feasible idea that could still be loads of fun and really well produced. We found that it would be simpler to use effective music in a thriller as there are loads more films and media work using suspenseful music. We also had a slight plan as to where we would film the sequence, Oleta State Park. We also had the camping equipment necessary for the props and costumes allowing our budgets to be put towards other things. I also enjoy being out in the woods and it would bring the mood up around the production team. Pitch B on the other hand I found to be pretty unique and somethin...
