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. At night things tend to be quieter.
Themes- violence, torture, revenge, suspense.
Characters- Hero- strong says few words- loner- Villain- lots of allies- overconfident.
Props- guns, cars, explosives, hit-tech equipment.
Narrative/Plot- Hero goes after villain- usually wins.
Style- stunts, explosions, shakey camera shots, fast paced cuts.
A film that is a good example of 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 iting car-chase.
Logline: Everyone has a past. Every Legend has a beginning. On November 17th, discover how James... become Bond
