We have decided to choose action as our genre for our trailer/film.
A example of an action film poster of which we will follow the genre's conventions for our own film poster.
The genre for out trailer is action. We have chosen this because it I different and would be very creative to make, a lot of research will need to be done to find the right elements to make good action trailer. what we plan to do is ask people what they look for in an action film and expand on their thoughts and opinions, we will then look into action posters to see how they are layed out and what conventions they have used to advertise their film. Then we will research trailers and see how will go about editing our video trailer and how arrange things to make it look real life for instance an explosion, this is our action plan so far.
Background of genre:
Action films usually include high energy, big-budget physical stunts and chases, possibly with rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crises (floods, explosions, natural disasters, fires, etc.), non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous, often two-dimensional 'good-guy' heroes battling 'bad guys' - all designed for pure audience escapism. Includes the James Bond 'fantasy' spy/espionage series, martial arts films, and so-called 'blaxploitation' films.
In 1920's and 1930's action films were often reffered to as 'swashbuckling' adventure films. In the 1940's and 1950's saw action in the form of war and cowboy movies.
The sub-genre, action comedy, became a popular trend in the 1980s when actors who were known for their background in comedy such as Eddie Murphy, began to take roles in action films. The action scenes within the genre are generally lighthearted and rarely involve death or serious injury.
