Q 1. Explain two ways the characters and/ or events fit the action adventure genre. 

In this clip the characters are represented in army uniform this fits the action and adventure criteria because it shows that they are ready to go into battle and they are prepared to face any enemies. Also these characters  are holding weapons witch shows they are ready to go into battle and represents them as strong and powerful. Also they army team are surrounded by broken buildings and smashed cars in the back ground of the shot, this is to create a action and adventure atmosphere to the viewers. Towards the end of this clip the bomb explodes, pushing everything away from the explosion, this creates a atmosphere that the audience wants to know what has happened to the protagonist and may be feeling scared and possible excited.

Q2. Explain how each of the following is used to create effects:
Sound track: The sound track in this fits the conventions of action and adventure movies because there is lots of shouting from the man strapped to the bomb which creates a tense atmosphere as the viewers may feel worried for him, also you can hear the protagonist prepare their guns, this is called dietetic sounds, which is the sounds in the frame; this sound adds more tension to the scene so that is makes audience think they are loading their guns to shoot.

mise en scene:  In this clip the mise en scene is set out like a war zone for example Iraq. This instantly makes the audience know what they will be expecting, such as: gun fire, explosions, protagonist vs antagonist e.t.c. Also the mise en scene includes the clothes that the actors are wearing, these are army uniforms, this informs the views that they may be expecting fighting and lots of action.
