Genre Research - Action
I'm researching genres to see if it's possible to spin our pitch in a creative way. The genre I am researching at the moment is the action genre.
The action movies I researched tend to have these angles and movements of the camera:
- High and Low angle
- Birds Eye Views
- Tracking Shots
- Side Views
- Establishing Shots Common
Mis-En-Scene used in action films:
- 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 used in action films:
- Jump Cuts
- Cuts
- Fade Aways
- Cross Cuts
- Dissolve
- Inserts
Common Sounds used in action films:
- Dialogue
- Intense music leaving audience on edge of their seats
- Sound Bridges
- Ambient Sounds to immerse audience
Films I watched in this genre:
- Bullet Train
- The Gray Man
- Ghosted
- The John Wick Series
Elements of the Genre that I enjoy:
- 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
