Genre Research - Action

 The common camera angles in action: 

  • Long shot: Artificially shortens the distance between two characters, tricking the viewer into thinking that the characters actually punch each other but the angle just makes it look like that.
  • Wide shot: Used to establish the main characters in the movie but not the area surrounding them. 
  • Low angle: Used to show how intimidating the villain is and how they are above all. 
  • High angle: Used to show when the main hero is in a tough situation and losing, usually fights or big battles. 
  • Establishing shot: Used to show the main area where the heroes/hero battles it out. 
Common Costumes, Props, Setting, and Make-up: 

  • Costume: The costumes in action films are what truly establish the character, some people don't even know the characters face but as soon as they see the suit/costume they immediately recognize them. 
  • Props: Props are important in action films, whether it range from Thor's Hammer to Batman's Bata-rang, the character's weapons are what define their actions. Thor's Hammer is a symbol of hope, which is even proven in Norse mythology, while Batman's Bata-rang invokes fear, connected to his fear of bats. 
  • Make-up: Make-up is what models the character's we see, changing their facial expressions and what they look like also. 

Common editing techniques: 

  • Jump Cuts: Used when characters travel to new locations, without the need to use a source of transportation. 
  • Reverse Shot: switch between characters during a conversation. 
  • Common Sound Techniques: Score: The score of these types of films are mostly used to set up the mood of the atmosphere. 
  • Sound Effects: they are used to make stuff sound more realistic, more loud and vivid. 
  • Voiceover: it helps explain what the character thinks of in the current situation they are in. 
  • Dialogue: represents the conversation between characters. 

Examples of Films: 

  • Avengers Endgame
  • Nobody 
  • Fast and Furious 9 


  • The elements that caught my attention and would be suitable for our pitch would be the sound techniques, consisting of voiceover and dialogue to give plot to the story. I also would like to see most of the camera angles be used in the final task since they would help represent the action and environment of the film.

 Common Camera Angles: High Angle: These shots are used in thriller films to give the effect that whatever is being looked down on appears to look powerless and vulnerable.  Tracking/panning: Used to make it look like one of the characters is being followed or being watched.
