The document discusses how the author's film opening used and challenged conventions of real action films. The author stuck to conventions like using fast-paced, intense music typical of the genre. A chase scene was included as they commonly occur in action films. Simple cutting was used to make shots look quick, as seen in films like Fast Five and Star Trek Into Darkness. The main character being a woman challenged conventions that heroes are usually men. The forest setting diverged from the typical urban environments of action films. Links to inspiration films like Casino Royale, The Hunger Games and Mission Impossible are provided.
