Typical action film

typical action film

in a typical action film there is generally alot of fast pace camera work going on this creates tension between the film and the audience giving the audience the sense of excitement. another typical thing to see in an action film is the main character normally is the hero who normally is a man who is extremely strong like wise the villain in a action film is normally seen as a smaller and therefore weaker person also there is normally a women in distress which is generally a stereotypical view on women in an action film as they are normally port raid as trouble seeking weak individuals. the bases of an action film is to make the viewers heart beat this is done through a series of short shots but is shown in a quick sequence giving the audience the impression that they are moving more quickly than they really are which is creating that fast pace appeal. generally in an action film the main character does some ridiculous breath taking thing which makes the audience think wow this could be somehow avoiding getting shot by millions of bullets or it could be taking out a group of men when the odds are stacked against him ten to one or even jumping from a ridiculous hight and some how surviving.

The typical action film audience is usually men due to the love for fast pace action women tend to prefer romance etc due to its slow shots and the relaxed vibe that they get from it but men prefer action to romance because romance tends to be to slow for their likening they much prefer the fast pace because it gets their adrenalin pumping and heart beating they like to be close to the action and lose themselves in the chaos of another world. the way an action film attracts their target audience is that they use fast pace editing to put together a series of sequences of shots creating a fast moving scene for the audience to indulge in losing themselves in the process another way action films tend to attract their audience is by including some Hollywood effects meaning that something ridiculous will happen that is impossible in reality which allows the audience to lose themselves in a different world, usually in a action film they use close up shots or medium shots to build the tension this keeps the viewer part of the action, if the director wants to show the audience the end of the fast pace sequence (the chase scene) then he/she would usually use a long shot to give the audience a break from the action and allow them to remember it is a film and not real
