Deconstruction of similar texts exploring their codes and conventions from the Action/Adventure genre

These are two of my own chosen films that are of the same genre of what Robert and myself are going to base our own short film on. These two films are called 'Mad Max' and 'Inception' which are both action/adventure genre based films.



  • 12/15 certificate, maximising youth audiences
  • High production values including CGI FX. Fast paced editing
  • Predictable chain of events – cause and effect
  • Dramatic non-diegetic sound
  • Star Marketing: Audience identification/expectations
  • Use of close up/Insert shots/High Key Lighting
  • Dominant representation of gender
  • A fast moving narrative with constant setbacks that are overcome one by one , leading to fairly complex plots.
  • Exotic locations where the characters have to contend with extremes of climate, aswell as evil forces.

       
  •  Inception is an action/thriller as it leaves the audience wanting more, they want to know more about how about how they can enter dreams and steal information.
  •  Includes names of famous actors and directors to attract the audience including 'Christopher Nolan'.
  •  The target audience for this film are teenagers and young adults.
  •   The interior of the building in this scene of Inception seems to look wealthy with pillars, gloss tables and all of the characters are wearing very formal clothing including dresses and suits.
  •  There are also weapons involved including guns which remind us that this is part of an action genre.
  •  As the film has several scenes of destruction, the film must have high production values which tells the audience thats its worth a watch.
