Q.1.
Explain two ways the characters and/or events fit the action adventure genre.
Use examples from the extract. [10 marks]
The presence of the army within this
clip is a clear indication of the action adventure
genre as they are a symbol of violence
against evil and so represents the violence to
come within the extract from the very
beginning. The army show their violence against
evil by confronting the suicide bomber
with guns pointed at them and the presence of
these weapons further fits the action
and adventure genre.
Another way in which this film seems
to fit the action adventure genre according to this
extract is the current event of a war
which seems to be occurring in a Middle eastern
country. A war is another indication
of violence commonly found in action adventure-
genre films, as within a war, there is
the presence of binary opposites of good vs. evil
(army vs. terrorists).
Q.2.
Explain how each of the following is used to
create effect:
·
soundtrack
·
editing
·
mise en scene
·
camerawork
Use example from the extract. [30 marks]
Within
the extract, there isn’t the presence of non-digetic aspects which works with
increasing the films effects
by adding more suspense towards the event and also
putting across the perception that
the film is more realistic than it actually is as in real
life, there obviously isn’t the added
in music often found in a lot of films.
The surroundings are rather quiet so
the sharp sounds of the bolt cutter and the
explosion, and also the speech
contrasts with the quiet and so attracts the audience
towards what is occurring more. These
sounds are diegetic.
The only editing which it is noticed,
is the explosion of the suicide bomber as it wouldn’t
be permitted to actually blow him up.
The editing is effective and brings across the
purpose (that the man, was indeed,
blown up) well.
