A genre that my group looked at is the Action genre. Action genre is a film genre in which the protagonist or protagonists are thrust into a series of events that typically include violence, extended fighting, physical feats, and frantic chases. Some blockbuster films that fall into this genre includes Avengers End Game, War for the Planet of the Apes, Dead pool 2, Jurassic World, Transformers: The Last Knight, and many more. The Action genre can deal with many different types of films like protagonist vs. antagonist or Action adventure, comedy, crime, drama, horror and thriller. To understand the genre more you could look at the genre's conventions. Camera angles normally found in the action genre are High angles, Low angles, Eye level, and Over the shoulder angles. Camera shots found in the genre are Close up shots, Long shots, Medium shot, Two shots, Three shots, Wide shots, and Point of- view shots. Camera movements in the genre include Pans or Tilts, and Zooms. These conventions are called the CAMS of media and this genre and are used in all types of media. In addition to those conventions here are the CLAMPS of this genre. The typical costumes in the action genre are super hero costumes, spy costumes, casual outfits, and many others. Lighting commonly found in this genre is Hard film lighting, Basic 3-point-lighting, Motivated lighting, and Natural film lighting. Types of acting found in this genre includes Classical acting, Method acting, and many others. Lastly the props found in this genre include swords, jet packs, guns, high tech gear, and many more. The most common sounds in the films of this genre include non-diegetic, diegetic, score, and incidental music. The most common editing types would be cutaway, burn ins, burn outs, and dissolves. Some elements in this genre includes stunts, chases, fights, battles, and races. Some things I like about the action genre are it’s mindless escapism. You don’t need to think about action movies much, you can just sit back, munch popcorn and watch it all unfold. Everyone needs that from time to time. It helps that action, unlike comedy, isn’t really subjective. There is not much I would say I dislike about this genre because overall it is very appealing and intriguing. However, if I had to say something it would be that sometimes the violence can be a bit excessive and become disturbing.
Another genre my group looked at is the Sci-Fi genre. Science fiction is a genre of speculative fiction that typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. Some major films that are in this genre include The Star Was series, Interstellar, Inception, The Martian, and many more. To get a better understanding of the genre you would need to look the conventions of the genre. Camera angles normally found in the Sci-Fi genre are High angles, Low angles, Eye level, and Over the shoulder angles. Camera shots found in the genre are Close up shots, Long shots, Medium shot, Two shots, Three shots, Wide shots, and Point of- view shots. Camera movements in the genre include are Pans or Tilts, and Zooms. These conventions are called the CAMS of media and this genre and are used in all types of media. In addition to those conventions here are the CLAMPS of this genre. The typical costumes in the action genre are super hero costumes, spy costumes, and many others. Lighting commonly found in this genre is Hard film lighting, Basic 3-point-lighting, Motivated lighting, and Natural film lighting. Types of acting found in this genre includes Classical acting, Method acting, and many others. The elements that are in this genre include Interplanetary warfare, Parallel universes, Fictional worlds, Time travel, and Space travel and Exploration. Props used in this genre include Light sabers, Star ships, Alien ships, and many others. The most common sounds in these films are diegetic, incidental, ambient sound, non-diegetic, and score. As far as editing, the main types in sci-fi movies are cutaways, cross cutting, shot reverse shot, and action match. I enjoy the Sci-Fi Genre because it show the audience a new aspect on the world even though it's may not be real, it makes us feel as such. An aspect of this genre that I would say I dislike is the idea that sometimes it can be difficult to understand the scientific concept of the movie. One must use their brain to put the pieces of the movie together to understand.
