Genre Research- Action

 

          Hello, I hope you're having a good evening. 

          CAMS in this genre. Common camera angles include high angles, low angles, wide angles, extreme wide angles, and such. Common camera shots include long shots, extreme long shots, eye-level shots, over the shoulder shots, full shots, aerial shots, establishing shots, shot reverse shots, and such. Common camera movements include zooms, tilts, pans, dollies, etc. In a lot of action movies, one of the goals is to show the whole character, that's a common thing found in superhero movies.

        CLAMPS. Common costumes include superhero-ish clothing, formal wear, casual wear, and more. Common lighting includes usually dim, more on the lighter side lighting. Common acting includes classical acting, method acting, Meisner acting, and such. Common make-up includes regular common makeup, bloody makeup, superhero(for lack of a better term) makeup, and such. Common props include weapons, vehicles, masks, clothes, animals, etc. Common scenes include big cities or residential areas with lots of people. They want to make someone look cool so people can focus both on the character and the situation they're in. 

          Sound and editing. Common sound includes diegetic sound, non-diegetic sound, scores, aerial sounds, dialogue, and voiceovers. Common editing includes eyeliner matches, action matches, inserts, jump cuts, cutaways, dissolves, fade in, fade out, shot reverse shots, etc.

          In all honesty, what I feel about the action genre depends on the film I'm watching. I don't usually like superhero stuff, but there are acceptions. Exceptions for me would include films like Deadpool, Birds of prey, Wonder Woman, and The Maze Runner films. I like stuff like that because I know that they're good, so. I don't know. I don't really like the kind of repetitive plots in the action genre. Most films are like, someone loses someone and needs to get honor or something. That's a lot of films but everyone with that plot executes it way differently which is cool. Superhero films are just full of a lot of pointless fights and that's not it for me. 

I realize that the superhero stuff that I listed have repetitive, predictable fights, but the ones I listed are the ones that I found good. Anyways.
