For A2 Media production we have to produce a film trailer, which is worth 50% of our coursework. As a result, I decided to do initial research on various genres such as Action, Comedy, and horror. However, comedy and action genre seemed suitable for my trailer. As a result, I chose 2 trailers regarding the genres in order to gain ideas on codes and conventions as well as their technical codes: Cinematography, Mise en Scene, Editing and Sound, this will lead me to distinguish between the two genres and select the one is suitable for me.
Sound: Uses asynchronous sound effects in order to create suspense and allows the audience to engage with the action being proceeding within the film.
Many voice over at the start typical convention in action film which enable the audience to understand about the narrative.
Fast tempo music links to the action being proceeding to build energetic atmosphere to prepare audience for the action: Prince Mission.
Mise en Scene: location in a desert: Egypt, which directly refers to the genre-action this is a traditionally war location this also prepares the audience for violence, fighting and action latter in the narrative.
Colour: brown, yellow associates, with victory, mission, winning these concepts relates to typicality of action genre code because the prince is on the mission to gain victory.
Character/ Actors performance stereotypical characters: paratgonstits is the male-prince and one female character seen as passive/ victim like the lover of the prince typical convention found in action films. Lighting: Low-key to highlight tension whether the prince will be able to complete the mission.
Camera: uses many bird’s eye view-high angle shot at the beginning to emphasise the location to the audience as the setting is the impact to the film where all the action will be taking place this gain audience interest by rising suspense i.e. what events will take place within the film. Additionally, close up’s are used on the male characters
Editing: Fade in and quick take in common code in action to create fast pace narrative to build tension.
