INTRODUCTION
Hello, welcome back to my blog! Today starts what will be a very long and complex process of making my very first film opening. Although I won't be working alone, this process won't be easy for the both of us. For this particular project I wanted to stray away from the genres that I have researched in the past such as the indie genre and the drama/thriller genre. This film opening will be the opening for an action film. I don't have all the details worked out yet, but I will for sure keep all my readers updated with the production process and the details for our film opening. Happy blogging!
The action genre is unique as many of its characteristics differ from other film genres. Films within this genre are fast-paced, have high energy throughout the film, and spectacular events that are meant to leave viewers either on the edge of their seat or mesmerized. Action films typically have a clearly defined hero, villain, and victim. Since these films have clearly defined characters, all of these characters all interact throughout the film. The hero fights the villain and saves the victim from whatever chaos they are putting the victim through. The hero also has to take down the villain in order to prevent them from causing anymore harm. Some subgenres within the genre of action as a whole include:
- Action-Adventure; Person vs. Nature
- Action-Duel; Person vs. Person
- Action-Epic; Person vs. Large Organization
- Action-Clock; Person vs. Time
Villains in this genre are not limited to people: they can be environmental factors or a larger group of people. Action films usually take place in urban areas or cities where there is usually a lot of action. This is done in order to keep up with the sense of speed and danger that is portrayed throughout these types of films. More specific locations include skyscrapers, banks, casinos, powerplants, etc. The target audience for this genre is males aged 16-25. Action appeals to this demographic because it contains the content that they enjoy: fast-paced scenes, violence, and sexual content.
