How My Research Has Helped (Research and Planning)


When looking at the different audiences that are attracted to the different genres of film I noticed that he action genre has a wide range. They attract both male and female and a verity of ages.

I looked at what action films include that they use to attract their audience; they seem to use close ups as this then allows the audience to see and know who each of the characters are. Slow-motion is used in once vital shot highlighting the importance of that scene. To attract the male audience they use chase scenes, fight scenes, gun fights and A LOT of explosions, as for the female audience they choose to use actor who are known highly for their attractiveness 'in a scene of great struggle Channing Tatum suddenly has to take off his shirt in a matter of life and death'.

When aiming for an audience of young teens to adults the film makers will allow their content to be a little more graphic than if aiming for a 'U' rating on a film.
When watching a film the younger generation seem to just want to be thrilled, they want to see the works when is come to fights and pyro-techniques, while the older audience want more of a gripping story with scenes which can get their blood pumping, all generations when watching a action film want to be sitting on the edge of their seat wanting more.

I realise that when coming to making an action from it can provide a challenge as you want your scenes to have both emotion and thrill. When you watch the beginning of a film you want to be gripped by the scruff of the neck, wondering what is going to happen next. A film like this can be hard to make as different people can be thrilled by different things. The opening of action films seems to focus more on the thrill then the emotion within it, they want you to get that burst of adrenalin that keep you wanting.
