In this scene, we are presented with a long shotof the
main character.We can see that he is wearinga suit
which is immediately one of the key conventions within
action/ spy movies as itmakes them look more
sophisticated and intelligentas well as secretive.
One of the key forms and conventions of an action/ spy
movie is either a chasescene or some sortof running. In this
scene, I incorporated itin with some sound effects of
breathing to convey that this is an action movieand makes
it feel and look much more realistic
Through my research of action movies, I found that one
of the most effective shots to use within an action movie
is an over the shoulder shot of perhaps someone running
which is what I incorporated into my film. Itputs the
audiencein the character’s position and shows howI
have used forms and conventions of actions movies
effectively.
This scene also uses forms andconventions of anaction/ spy
movie. Thisis because I triedto incorporate a slow motion shot
into myfilms whichis what a lot of successful action movies do
which made myfilm lookandfeelmore realistic;like the
audience felt what was happening. Here is a specific example of
where I have triedto develop the conventions of action movies
because I alsoadded tense music inthe backgroundto give the
audience a feeling like something is about to happen.
Here is another example of where I have tried to use and
then develop forms and conventions of action movies. This is
because duringthis scene, I tried to make it a slowmotion
shot when he is openingthe door to make it more
suspenseful and tense which is somethingthey regularly do
in other action movies. The way I tried to develop itis by
addingeerie back music to itto make the audiencefeel like
something is about to happen.
