Looking at films.

Looking at films.



Action movies: The conventions of an action movie is:
Dialogue: They often use short, effective words to create a good impact. Often use catchphrases. The often use an interrogation and this is when they give all of the information in one go.
Camera work: During a car chase they often use high angle shots to capture the full image of the chase. They alos use quick transitions between shots in order to confuse the audience and make them feel as if they are part of the chase.
There is usually a goodie and a baddie, usually an organisation. There is also a fake hero who turns out to be a villain. For example, in the film Salt, we believe Detective Salt to be a good guy, however we are shocked to find out she might not be, we are also shocked to find out that her boss is actually a baddie, she kills him.
Objects always include fast cars/bikes, dangerous chases, usually include jumping off buildings, etc.. They always have weaponary and dark clothing.
The plot is usually a good guy in search of answers, which they get, they then go after the bad guy, and usually they manage to kill them and end their threat.
