Our Chosen Genre Is Action Thriller.
The certificate of action films
usually ranges between certificate 12 and certificate 18, with the aim of
maximising youth audiences as much as possible. The action genre is often
hybridised with Sci Fi, Adventure, and Thriller Genres, some of which work
fairly well (V For Vendetta, is an example of this. the fusion of the two
genre's is almost faultless in this film), and some don’t.
Major studios usually produce and distribute action films, and often most of the action hybrid genres of film. These types of films almost always have high production values including CGI effects. The editing of these types of films is generally fast paced, to re-enforce the sense of action. Action films generally have a predictable chain of events – cause and effect, however with the inclusion of thriller, these predictable events can become more spontaneous, adding to the structure of the film. A single stranded, linear, closed narrative is mostly used, where the protagonist is effected by the actions of the antagonist, usually there is a main fight scene towards the end of the film, at which point order is restored, or justice is served.
Most of the non-diegetic sound used in the film is dramatic, and kind of separates the film from the real world, but not so much as to suggest it be a SCI-Fi or Fantasy film, as it still retains most of the elements of a real life situation, but is generally exaggerated quite a bit.
More narrative action codes than enigma codes are used.
