Genre Research (Action)

 The next genre that we researched was action. Everyone loves a good action movie. I found a lot of things action movies tend to have that other genres do not. An action movie in many circumstances have a problem that doesn’t really happen in reality, but have someone who steps up to help the issue or conflict. They also tend to have a fast-moving plot, usually containing forms of violence. Action movies tend to have people on the edge of their seat, because it can take you into a completely different reality. It really makes you think what would happen if this was actually real. some essential camera angles in the action filmmaking are establishing shots, long shots, wide angles, medium shots, extreme close up, two shot and over the shoulder. Of course there are more shots that these filmmakers use but these are the most common. in the action genre suspense is key, this helps the viewer keep interest on the movie and help them want to know what happens next. Like in all movies keeping the attention of your viewers is the most important. When editing an action movie, cutting on action is used the most. Cutting on action is when the editor cuts from one shot to another shots for you that matches the first shot’s action. When researching the sound that is commonly used in action movies I found a lot of good examples, although more sound effects actually get added after the movie is complete to get that louder effect, in the result of  layering sounds. Some action movies that are most popular throughout the years are The Matrix, Die Hard, The Terminator, RoboCop and lots more. Some elements that we might contribute to our film from action movies will be the suspense and that unreality part of it. We really like those elements that the action genre had to offer. Some things that we might not add into our film will be the cliche sound affects that people have used too many times before. We want to be original as possible making it our own. Overall we really like this genre and the elements it has to offer.
