Genre research blog-Action

 Action movies is among the most used genre in the film making industry because people love seeing fight scene and battles that could never happen in real life. Action is about danger and fast-paced scenes that get people interested. 

Each of these movies are different in their own respected way, but many of them use the same camera angles, camera movements, mis-en-scene, the sound in the film, and the editing they use.

The camera angles used are jump cuts to show the action going on in different points of the scene, high/ low shots to view the villain or hero in the power stance or defeated, point of view shots to see what the subjects sees, and wide shot to get the whole scene in one shot. Camera movements are tracking shots for chases so the viewer can always see what's going on, establishing shots to unveil the location of the action, and panning which allows the camera to move to reveal more to the scene. The Music is supposed to fit what is happening either suspense or as sad moment in the action scene. Other sound like ambient noise is supposed to make it feel natural and real. 

Action movies are well it or are dark and dim it all matters on location, which can vary from battlefields to government buildings. Props are both weapons like firearms and melee weapons, and sometimes blood. Clothing is tactical and serious as they are going to war. 

Examples are "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Fury"

Action movies are amazing in their own way, the music and sound from the film make the film much more enjoyable. Also, the movement of the camera is something I would put in my film are the creative shot used. Some things I wish were used less are the constant jump cuts and unnecessary cuts and stops in the action scene.
