Product Research - Action Genre

Finally, I have decided to research into the action genre. I have looked at movies such as 'Die Hard 4.0' and 'Stormbreaker'.

As a general rule, the action conventions include a great deal of special effects, which would make it potentially difficult to create with our limited equipment. The editing is fast paced, and the camerawork is very dynamic. Chase scenes are a huge part of the action genre, making up a vast proportion of many films. In order to incorporate all of the action and chasing, many storylines go along the path of either a 'spy' or a 'specialist', creating the possiblity for dangerous and breathtaking scenes.
