Question 1: Explain two ways the characters and/or events fit the action adventure genre. Use examples form the extract. (10 marks)
The main character, William James, fits the conventions of an action adventure hero. He is portrayed as the protagonist in the extract as he walks up to the person claiming he has a bomb attached to him and starts to give orders about what equipment he needs to disarm the bomb. The action that defines James as the protagonist is his willingness to put himself at risk to save others. As the countdown continues and the soldiers run out of time to save the area, James instructs his comrades to get the right amount of distance away from the bomb while he still attempts to disarm it. This shows his bravery because he and a fellow soldier had already established that they would need equipment that isn't available to them in order to get the bomb of the man.
The events of the extract fit the action adventure genre very well. The main characters are American soldiers fighting in the East, the unfamiliar surroundings giving an adventurous feeling. The theme of danger attached to having a job as a soldier already adds to the action genre of the extract. The life or death situation faced by the soldiers adds immediate tension to the extract and the timed conditions of the bomb counting down only adds to this further. The fact that the main character displays extreme bravery and has to disarm a bomb under a certain amount of time to save everyone is a classic aspect of the action adventure genre as it appears that the protagonist has all the odds stacked against him, and when he survives he proves himself not only to other characters but to the audience.
Question 2: Explain how each of the following is used to create effects that fit the action adventure genre- soundtrack- camera- editing- Mise-en-scene.(20 marks)
Your Q1 is very detailed but you don't really need to retell the events of the clip. Instead, you need to focus on the two ways the clip meets the conventions of the AA film.
ReplyDeleteI watched sicario putlocker this movie because I was curious to see how the director dealt with the subject and I was also interested in seeing Jeremy Renner in a role other than that of a Super Hero. Although this kind of movie is not the type I usual watch 123movie, I have to admit that I was impressed with how the director and actors portrayed the tension of being in a war zone. Very well done, for the subject.
