Greetings and Salutations!
Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is continuing my short genre series covering the variety of genres we can choose for our film.
That said, today's genre will be...
Action!!!
The Rubric
I do have some regulations I'm required to stay within, so that's how my genre analysis is going to be.
• Common CAMS in the genre
• Common CLAMPS in the genre
• Common Editing in your genre
• Common Sound in your genre
• Example films of your genres
• What elements of the genre that you like and would use if this was your genre?
• What elements of the genre do not appeal to you, and you would not use if this was your genre.
CAMS
Wide-angle Shots: Often used for showcasing expansive action sequences and settings.
Close-ups and Extreme Close-ups: Emphasize the intensity of characters' expressions and actions.
High-Angle Shots: To create a sense of vulnerability or emphasize the danger in a scene.
Tracking Shots: Provide fluidity in fast-paced action scenes.
CLAMPS
Functional Costumes: Designed for mobility and practicality, often reflecting the character's role (e.g., superhero costumes).
High-Contrast Lighting: Adds intensity to the visuals, especially in night action scenes.
Intense Acting: Physicality and expressive performances to convey urgency and danger.
Minimal Makeup: Unless specific injuries are part of the action.
Editing
Fast Cuts: Enhances the pace of action sequences.
Cross-cutting: Especially during simultaneous action in different locations.
Shots/Reverse Shots: This could be used to visualize tense interrogations.
Sound
Energetic and Dramatic Music: Often orchestral or electronic scores to heighten tension.
Sound Effects: Explosions, gunshots, and impactful sounds enhance the visceral experience.
Minimal Dialogue in Intense Sequences: Actions speak louder than words.
Example Films
Ant-Man: The basis for this Final Pitch, it's funny but has some intense fight scenes.
Avengers: The epitome of an action movie, has intense scenes and memorable moments for all families to love.
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train: A high-paced movie with high stakes ending with bitter sorrow.
Elements I like
Inventive Action Sequences: I appreciate creativity in choreography and stunts.
Strong Character Motivations: Action is more engaging when characters have clear goals and motivations.
Visually Striking Settings: I enjoy action films with unique and visually captivating locations.
Elements I don't like
Swearing/Cursing: In these high-stakes films, people get stressed, and angry, and upset, leading to the throwing of inappropriate language.
Lack of Character Development: Action is more engaging when the audience cares about the characters involved.
"Power of Friendship": I dislike it when people win battles for no reason with no training or purpose, but just getting a super power up for no reason.
That's All!
That's it for this Genre Blog everyone. I hope I made at least most of my descriptions and intentions clear and accurate, and we'll continue this series onward! Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive.
