After completing some research on the horror genre, which seemed to be the most popular, I decided to have a look at some other examples of AS Media Studies Video Tasks. This time I will be researching other genres that other AS Media Studies students have used in the openings of their movies. Firstly I have looked at a few examples of AS Media Studies Foundation Production with the Action genre. After reseacrhing some videos with the Action genre I have found the key forms and conventions of this particular genre that have been commonly used in the videos I have watched for my research. I have found that many films using the Action genre have included a Spy Theme as the main storyline for their film. This is becasue it enables the production team to easily include action like fight scenes and chase scenes within the film. Another commonly used form and convention of the Action genre used in most of the videos I researched was a chase scene. This is becasue it provides the film with quick paced action and also it enables the production team to use a number of different camera angles to emphasise the action. I aslo found that a number of the videos I researched included a 'good guy/bad guy' theme within the video, which is also a very commonly used form and convention of the Action Genre. This is becasue it enables the production team to easily include fight scenes and chase scenes within the film, which are some of the key forms and conventions of an Action Genre. Lastly I found that during some of the 'Chase' scenes from some of the videos I researched, the production teams had seemed to like using fast music and including some stunts performed by the actors. This, again is a very common form and convention of the Action Genre as it is used to emphasise the pace at which these 'Chases' are occuring and how dangerous they are, I have have found these commonly used in the videos I have reseacrhed as they help the production teams easily create the Action Genre and also they are able to include some of the most commonly used forms and conventions of the Action Genre with ease. These two videos, from our research, show best the most commonly used froms and convention of the Action Genre:
