1. UNIT 1 AND 5
1) My chosen genre is Action
 Definition of Action:
An Action film is a genre, a genre is a specific type/certain
category of film, music or book. People mainly watch films
depending on the genre. Action means doing something to
achieve your aim, so taking action.
 An action film contains a lot of violence, most of them involve a
hero and a villain, there is a lot of physical stunts that take
place in the movie and a lot of fighting, action films are
extremely energetic, for example in some/most action films
there is a chase, there are fights, disasters (fires, explosions
etc.). There are a lot of films with hybrid genre’s, for example
Taken. The genres for Taken are Action and Thriller.
