Looking Into Action Genre

Hello, my Loyal Listeners! Now that you all know my pitch I got to study which genre will fit best with it.

Now it's time to analyze action!

CAMS

Wide-angle Shots: Often used for showcasing expansive action sequences and settings.

Close-ups and Extreme Close-ups: Emphasize the intensity of characters' expressions and actions.

High-Angle Shots: To create a sense of vulnerability or emphasize the danger in a scene.

Tracking Shots: Provide fluidity in fast-paced action scenes.

CLAMPS

Functional Costumes: Designed for mobility and practicality, often reflecting the character's role (e.g., superhero costumes).

High-Contrast Lighting: Adds intensity to the visuals, especially in night action scenes.

Intense Acting: Physicality and expressive performances to convey urgency and danger.

Minimal Makeup: Unless specific injuries are part of the action.

EDITING

Fast Cuts: Enhances the pace of action sequences.

Cross-cutting: Especially during simultaneous action in different locations.

Shots/Reverse Shots: This could be used to visualize tense interrogations.

SOUND

Energetic and Dramatic Music: Often orchestral or electronic scores to heighten tension.

Sound Effects: Explosions, gunshots, and impactful sounds enhance the visceral experience.

Minimal Dialogue in Intense Sequences: Actions speak louder than words.

EXAMPLE FILMS

John Wick- there is action left right and center in this film because he is hunting the people who killed his dog.

Avengers: The epitome of an action movie, it has intense scenes and memorable moments for all families to love.

Ant-Man: The story of how a criminal turned superhero saves the day.

ELEMENTS I LIKE

Inventive Action Sequences: I appreciate creativity in choreography and stunts.

Strong Character Motivations: Action is more engaging when characters have clear goals and motivations.

Visually Striking Settings: I enjoy action films with unique and visually captivating locations.

ELEMENTS I DON'T LIKE

Swearing/Cursing: In these high-stakes films, people get stressed, and angry, and upset, leading to the throwing of inappropriate language.

Lack of Character Development: Action is more engaging when the audience cares about the characters involved.

"Power of Friendship": I dislike it when people win battles for no reason with no training or purpose, but just getting a superpower up for no reason.
