Elements and Components

Hi there bloggers, It has been brought to my attention that nobody really knows anything about action films, the basics, also known as that little chart we learned in english about hamlet and when the climax is and what to expect out of action movies, so in today's week we will learn the basics of film genre's. I would especially like to thank http://www.filmsite.org/genres.html for the following information that i have rewritten for plagarism purposes!

Action films are jam packed with energy, very expensive physical stunts and chases. These Usually consist of at least one of the following: rescues, battles, fights, escapes, which usually involve something destructive which can towns flooding, asteroids, bombs, or fires. Something that is keep you on the edge of your seat non-stop heartpounding thrill ride.

Now that these are added in, we must have a conflict, and this usually consist of a good guy versus a bad guy, also known as hero and villain for you batman lovers. These are design to give the audience a escapism effect. An example of this would be James Bond (supposedly fantasy)
that has to do with the spy/espionage programs. These include the hero knowing martial arts very well and always winning.

Now that we have covered some of the elements of an action film, lets discuss the components. These consist of a couple of different things. This may also be called the plot? It has the introduction where the characters are introduced, the conflict, where we find out what the problem is, the Climax is where there is a point of no return, an example in the movie Bangkok Dangerous, where he decides to stop being an assasin and kill the men that hired him to protect the girl he likes. Then there is the resolution, finding out what happens, does the villain live another day? Does the Hero die ? does the Girl die? All Action films are based off of this, as EVERY movie is in my opinion,

What type of action, like an asteroid or an explosion just defines what type of movie it is and try to get people interested. They all use one of the previously discussed for the most part. Sure, they may throw an opening explosion into the beginning before the characters are introduced, but i assure you this is just to grab audience attention.

That is what the Plot of a action movie is, which may be tweaked for audience preference. These are things that every movie must have otherwise the movie falls apart, we were taught this in high school.

Good day media lovers
