Conventional Element	How is it used in Action/Adventure films?
Protagonist	The Protagonist is used as a hero in the film. He/ She always have a weakness in the film, mainly their love, crush, family, friends or just innocent people. The protagonist’s job is to save lives and defeat the antagonist. Protagonists always wear big, bright and bold colours so that anyone can spot him. He/ She always has a power as well. For example, superman can fly.
Antagonist	The Antagonists is used as a villain in the film. He/ She will always want to take down the protagonist no matter what. He will use the protagonist’s family, love, friends or innocent people to get him into a trap. The antagonists always wear dark colours such as black, grey, brown and sometimes white, the dark colours represent evil. The antagonist can sometimes have power but mainly have weapons.
Other characters	Other characters in the film are usually from the protagonist’s normal life, when he isn’t saving the world he’s just a normal boy and the people around him have no idea he’s a protagonist. Other characters could also be from the villain’s side, maybe from his army, his minions.
Plot	The plot of the film in an action/ adventure must always have some trouble. At the beginning things are really well in the film for the protagonists till the antagonists comes and tries to destroy everything. In the end things go back to the way they were or he dies. The point of a plot it that it summaries the film.
Locations	The locations are usually set in the day but when bad things happen they are always in the dark. Such as a dark alley or at night.
Soundtrack	When it comes to the soundtrack, the sweet lovey dobby bits are always sweet and romantic and then the music will  change when things start to get intense.
Camera	In an action/ Adventure the camera work makes the antagonist look weak and horrifying person , that way the protagonist look macho and really strong.
Mise-en-Scene	The mise-en-scene in an action adventure film is mostly the antagonist and protagonist fighting. The background is usually dark because that way not alot of people will see them and mostly to make the clothes stand out.
Editing	In action/ adventure editing is used by making fight scenes more effective by adding fast pace and slow motion. Editing make the scene more intense.
representation	The representation of the antagonists is portrayed as evil and a bad influence whilst the protagonist is represented as a positive influence on young children.

Types of techniques, sound and editing used.

In this clip I will explain the following techniques:
-camera techniques
-sound
-editing
There was a close up shot of two gasoline tanks which he was going to use to blow up. At the beginning you will see James (protagonist)  picking whilst the antagonist threw bombs through the window. They used the close up shot so that we can clearly see what we expected he was going to do with the tank, blow them up.

Most of the sounds in this clip were explosions, helicopters and intense background music. The background music had been playing as soon as the clip started and then came the helicopter sounds and huge explosions.
The background music was quite intense and that was the point, to build tension because you don't know what's going to happen.

You can tell That there has been a lot of CGI (Control General Imagery). When they blew up the house and that with real fire it's dangerous if it was real life. They use a green screen so that it would look like explosions were happening but it's all fake, they just act in front of a green or blue screen and then edit it.
