This document discusses how various elements of film techniques relate to and portray the subgenre of action. It analyzes shots that create mystery, suspense, and tension through low lighting, unusual perspectives that don't provide full context, and expressions of concern on a character's face. Explosions, unusual means of travel, and makeup that conveys urgency are also described as visual cues that establish a film's action subgenre.
