Genre Research: Action

For my PowerPoint project I chose the action film genre. I chose this genre because this area is my favorite type of film. I based my project off of a set of guidelines my teachers wanted us to follow. In the PowerPoint I started with common lighting that can be found in action films. I added examples next to them. I listed high key lighting, low-key lighting, and three-point lighting. I then talked about camera angles that were often found in action movies. Normal angle shots, as well as high and low camera angles. Afterwards I listed examples of common camera movements, but I used YouTube links in my PowerPoint for examples. I then talked about common Mis-En-Scenes found in action movies. I listed props makeup and costume. There are a lot of these used in action movies, and one that I can really think of are superhero movies. After I talked about the common features of action movies. There are lots of physical action, fights, sometimes chases and explosions, and special effects mixed with stunt work. I listed a few action films, such as What Happened To Monday, 2012, and The Day After Tomorrow. We were then supposed to talk about common sounds found in action movies, I added YouTube links for that slide as well. One of the final slides allowed us to talk about things we did and did not like in action movies. I talked about how I liked the intensity and fight scenes. I talked about how I didn't like the whole narrative leading up to the action. In the last slide I added link to popular sounds of action movie music.
