genre conventions- action

          genre conventions of 4 genres of film
                                         action
            
 mise en scene:

costume: action films use uniforms, vests or costumes in their films, and the uniforms are used to show the character has an allegiance to a certain team, while the vests are used to show the character is hard, and the costumes are used to relate to their name e.g. Spiderman has a spider on his chest and a web pattern.

make up: characters usually have a lot of wounds in action films, and use make up to show them. they also have lot of mud and grime on them, and this is shown by make up. this show that the characters have been through a lot of tough action.














props: in actions films, a lot of props are used, including guns, swords, and other weapons, and they are often used by a lot of characters, for example, rick's revolver in the walking dead, hit-girl's sword in kick-ass, and captain America's shield in the avengers.




setting: action films use mostly outdoor settings, so they can have lots of natural light, and so there is lots of space, e.g. a crowded city or a war zone. this is also done so they can have their special effects used, like an explosion.



lighting: action films are usually set outside, and so they use a lot of natural light. this is good as it allows the scene to be well lit, and so everything can be seen.

stance: in action films the characters normally use a lot of aggressive stances,  and are usually very macho stances. they also look very muscly, and show off their muscles.




use of colour: in action films, they use a lot of bright colours, like the yellow and orange similar to explosions, or will use the same colours as the costumes to link the character.


sound: in action movies, the sounds used are usually loud, such as explosions and gunfire, while the non diegetic sound is very upbeat music, to show the action character is winning a fight.
