action adventure
TRANSCRIPT
The costume which Stallone is wearing shows that he is ready for combat and knows what is about to happen. I believe he is a seeker hero because the suit he is wearing shows me that he understands what he has to do and there is surprise in what may happen to him.
There is a gun in his hand I can infer from this that there is about to be combat an violence or that there has been combat and violence
The ligh<ng shows that it is quite dark which creates a suspense and jeopardy. Which shows that the are in some sort of trouble. Which gives the audience suspense. The is also a tense mood because the person she is talking to is in the dark. This shows it is tense. The temporal awareness is at night.
The loca<on as you can see is at a house. The <me periods is about night <me. you can tell by this is the only source of light that is coming is the street lamp.
The camera shot is close up and long shot because the women at the front her head is close up and the person hiding in the darkness is the long shot.
The use of the costumes show that this is western film which suggests that this film contains some violence as most people associate the wild west with violence and ac<on.
There is a dead body on the floor with a firearm next to it which shows there are elements of violence and conflict within the scene.
A man stands at the forefront of the shot looking down at the body directly while civilians in the background stare in shock at what has happened. This suggests he is the main character and has sort of power/leadership over others.
The shot is backlit and
natural light is used.
Spectacle is connoted through this scene as it clearly shows Computer Generated Images to add to the atmosphere of the film. The unique loca<on shown in this image, will en<ce the viewer as it adds to suspense and wonder of what the film will be about. The character in this scene looks likely to be one of the main protagonists yet, looks lost and looks into the distance as a sense of wonder. This shows that conflict will arise throughout the film which will heavily effect the main character.
This ‘hero’ looks likely to be a seeker hero as she appears to be searching for something. She may be searching for something that someone took from her, which once again foreshadows poten<al combat and violence throughout the film. Jeopardy arises as the main character is given a weakness as she wants something that looks extremely difficult to obtain.
This film rejects the stereotypical gender role of having a male character as the sole main protagonist. As a female is a seeker hero which is extremely unique throughout the film industry, this yet again will draw viewers in as it creates a sense of mystery. It makes the viewer wonder what she could possibly be searching for, and how a female will be portrayed throughout the film of being a hero rather than an object of desire.
This shot is a long shot in order to highlight the ‘magical’ seMng around the main character. This is also done to show her body language as she appears to be in need and searching for something as she gazes into the distance. The <me period of this scene also creates suspense as the night is usually linked with conflict and is usually more nega<ve than during the day.
Mo<on Blur shows us that the scene is fast-‐paced and that the main characters are in a rush, crea<ng suspense and jeopardy.
The lead character has a gun whereas the person trailing behind doesn’t appear to have one, also the lead character is a lot calmer than the one behind indica<ng his authority and experience in this situa<on.
The ligh<ng in this scene shows that it is late in the day and we can therefore infer that the ac<on and/or film is nearing its conclusion.
The ligh<ng in this shot also gives a sense of hope as it is the bright light in an otherwise dark situa<on.
This is a long shot/tracking shot , the camera tracks the characters through the building building suspense as we do not know what there is in front of the characters.
Predominantly Male genre
This is a medium shot type, it is an medium shot to show what Bruce Willis is wearing and to show that his closed
are scuffed as you can see on his elbows.
The background shows gun shots which suggest that combat and violence is being taken place here, also the image shows that Bruce Willis and his friends are being targeted which relates to props theory as Bruce Willis and his friend are vic<m hero
The loca<on is at an abandoned area with construc<on bin
This long shot gives you a combina<on of many ac<on adventure elements. It has a European city seMng connoted by the architecture and French car in the foreground. To contributes to a sense of spectacle par<cularly for an American audience.
The ligh<ng is quite low key sugges<on that the ac<on might be taking place at dawn or just before adding to a sense of danger and suspense.
Speed and mo<on and a sense of danger is aptly evoked by the exploding lorry flying into the air. This screen shot might also represent a point at which there is a disrup<on of the equilibrium by some ac<on as in Todorov’s theory of narra<ve
This screenshot is from the film ‘Django Unchained’, and depicts Django’s wife in distress, being harassed by her slave master. This shot fundamentally depicts a woman in distress, which iden<fies with Propps theory of Narra<ve as she is a damsel/princess who needs to be saved by the hero.
The shot is of an exo<c loca<on featuring a mid-‐shot of two figures apparently running from an immanent danger. There is clear sense of jeopardy and peril They are clothed is cool blue colours contras<ng with the exo<c red background foliage. These elements add to a sense of spectacle.
The character in this clip looks to be in conflict as the make up represents how he has been injured. The blood represents how he has been in some sort of fight. As a result, I can infer that the s<ll image can be from an ac<on and adventure film due to the make-‐up and the facial expressions of the character being emphasized into conflict. The use of blood and sweat along the characters body can emphasis just how much conflict he has been in.
The ligh<ng of the background of this s<ll image is really dark and looks to be gloomy. The darkness can imply the dullness and also the evil of the scene. The mood also looks to be nega<ve due to the darkness of the ligh<ng. As a result, the darkness of the background can show that the scene is also in a darkish format (being full of conflict and evil).
The use of ligh<ng sugges<ve of suspense and jeopardy which is a fey feature of ac<on adventure. The use of ligh<ng can symbolise a dark atmosphere. This could also create a dull mood.
The use of the camera is posi<oned on the main character which is diffuse and a close up but however in the background there is a shadow which creates suspense and jeopardy but this shot is a long shot and all in all this could be a sense of mystery for example how they are related and a sense of her being watched.
The use of loca<on is placed in a house which is dark and dull, this could suggest this it was a later <me in the day and we can suggest this by the only light we can see is the street light shining into the house.
This shot type of the film Fast and Furious is a medium shot focusing on Tyrese Gibson blurring out the background and foreground of another actor of the film, Ludacris. His facial expression implies that there is a disrup<on of equilibrium which they are in the process of recognizing the disrup<on which connotes combat and violence, that is a key feature of ac<on adventure. Furthermore, from the mise-‐en-‐scene of the props in the background it shows that it is male dominated which is a stereotype of ac<on adventure films being mainly aimed at male. The
His make-‐up and costume suggests that he has already been in conflict, as he has ripped clothes and fresh wounds
His facial expression suggests he is in deep conversa<on
