Codes and conventions of the genre

Codes and conventions of a action film trailer.

  • Loud music (explosions)
  • Fast upbeat noises
  • Minor injuries (blood)
  • Action sequence montage to emphasise the storyline

Looking at other film trailers and magazine front covers for action films, has allowed us to understand what images, colours, and effects you have to use to appeal to your target audience. We have looked at different magazines, and annotated them, which shows us bright and effective colours, the use of dramatic images such as big explosions, and the use of camera angles, so a low angle to highlight the person in the image on the front cover, is something that we need to look at for our magazine front cover and trailer.
