Genre Research – Action
Genre Conventions – production techniques
The plot of an action film tends to be fast paced and chaotic. Due to the various stunts and violent scenes included such as fighting, explosions, and even frantic chases, the budgeting of an action film must be likewise, just as abundant to adequately produce the film. Additional to the budget, equipment necessary for shooting scenes like I have mentioned, typically include wide shots, dolly shots, and crane shots to capture the entirety of the many different things that may be happening at once in a scene.
The location of an action film usually is one that can allow for an establishing shot. Establishing shots are used not only to give audience a distinct location of the film, but to overall set the mood and build up to the chaos of the plot in a large scaled area. For instance, locations like landmark cities, such as New York City, Paris, London, and Tokyo are all cities that have been used in action films to fulfill the purpose of using an establishing shot.
