(Genre Conventions)

Genre Conventions
This is a mind map of action which has the main conventions of an action films. Some examples are that many action films are set in Eastern European Countries because many action films include terrorists, also many action films contain explosions and fight scenes which then suggests that there will be lots of action going in in the films. This mind map would give me some crucial ideas on what we could add to make an action film good as well what I could add to improve an action film. 
These thriller conventions will help our group decide what we could have in our film, for example we will need to add some kind of music which will have to be intense because as our film is a action thriller film there will need to be some music to make the scenes more intense. Another convention is that there needs to be a strong story line because it needs to engage the audience and bring them along with the story, if the film doesn't have a strong and engaging story line it will lose the audience. There must also be reasonably quick cuts in a fight scene because it would make it look more realistic and interesting for people to watch, this means that the fights will be more intense and dramatic for both the actors and the audience. An antagonist driven plot is important for the film because it helps set the scene and create the story line which will help the audience connect with both the protagonist and the antagonist.
