1. Codesand conventionsof action moviesgenera
I shall talkaboutsome of the conventionsthatare usuallyfoundwithinactionmoviessothatI may
use some of themwhenI start to make my movie trailer.
One thingthat isvary iconicinaction moviesare the locationof the scene .The mosticonicscene in
moviesare NewYorkor Londonand prettymuch all otherbigcity locationssolongas itis an
modern actionmovie .Otherscene tendto include abandon buildings,skyscrapers,army bases,
streets, farmsandwoods. Most of these placesare not at my disposal. ButIcan use Manchesterfor
a city scene aswell asusinglocal woodsand naturedspots.
One thingthat isalways iconicinthe use of weaponry inthese typesof movies. If itisa highaction
movie like JamesBond the characterswill have large fire powersuchas tanks,planes machine guns
etc. Wear as an actionshowon a smallerscale forexample agangstermovie wouldbe usingmore

timesduringthe thatwill leadupto the final battle whichwillleadtothe risingaction.These are
alwaysthe mainfocusof these typesof movies,soIwill needtomake sure thatI include some sort

The clothingof the characters tendsto vary dependonthe type of character but if the characters is
