Genre


This entry is to explain genre. The genre that i have looked at is the action genre, the six main features of this are:
Setting- Remote locations- Daylight a lot of attention is given to the characters- Night- Stealthy

Themes-violence,torture,revenge,suspense

Characters-Hero-Strong says few words- loner- Villain- lots of allies-overconfident

Props-guns, cars explosives, hi-tech equipment

Narrative/Plot-1 hero goes after villain usually wins

Style-Stunts,Explosions, Shakey camera shots, fast paced cuts.

A film that demonstrates this is Casino Royale (2006) starring Daniel Craig as James Bond 007 on his first mission. The film was directed by Martin Campbell with key scenes involving a chase through a construction site, a horrific torture scene and a nail-biting car chase.
Logline: Everyone has a past. Every legend has a beginning. On November 17th, discover how James...became Bond.
