             Lucy Schofield
THE GENRE ITSELF; ACTION, ADVENTURE
Typically, an action move usually holds one or more heroes
or characters with a ‘goodie’ role. These characters also
usually come to face an evil character in some way or
another in a heroic move to, for instance, save the world.
Features which are often used in this genre film involve
weapons, dramatic scenes and profound language.
When the action films first hit the cinemas back in the early
1920/30s the movie genre found itself linking with genres
with a similar feel. Adventure was a main link with action
movies, as it created wider set of option the movie could go
to; therefore creating the film genre action, adventure.
