Why do I like What I like

 My favorite genre has to be action but I also love horror, sci fi, and even animated films. For my film opening I plan on working in the action genre but I want to mix in some elements of the thriller genre.

The action genre is my favorite because of its enticing scenes. I love the choreography of each fight that occurs in the action genre it helps keep viewers like me hooked into the fight and even the story. The action genre usually involves a hero as well and I’ve grown up watching action movies with superhero’s so I connect to it as if I’m still a little kid. The thing that inspires me most from the action drama is I want to be able to produce an intricate fight scenes with fast choreography and lots of movement.

A clip I’ve chosen from a film in the action genre is from the film “The Batman”

The big idea of this clip is to show Batman’s strength and his heroism even though he doesn’t seem like a hero. Mise-en-scene helps the idea of him not seeming like a hero because he is dressed in all black and hides in the shadows like a villain would so it’s contradicts the idea of him being a hero. Secondly through dialogue aka sound when Batman has finished beating up the gang members to save the man’s life the man asks Batman not to hurt him as he is scared of the person he has just been saved by. Editing helps establish the big idea as we see just how fast he is compared to all the gang members through quick cuts within the fighting scene. Cinematography helps show the big idea by using a wide shot to show his strength as he fights multiple enemies at once. Another piece of cinematography is the shot when all the gang members run away from Batman as he has just shown how much stronger he is than they are. One last thing that shows his heroism is the shot of the bat signal as someone is trying to reach him because they need help.
