Choosing a Genre

I have chosen to create an opening sequence for an action film. Last year, action films such as 'Kick Ass' and 'Iron Man 2' all placed in the box office top 10 which illustrates the vast appeal that these films offer.  Conventions of action films include car chases, fight sequences, explosions and a distinct hero and villain. To make the film appeal to its target audience I will include some, if not all,of these conventions as this is what the viewers of action films are attracted to. After analysing the opening sequence  and opening titles of two other action films, I have a clear idea of what to conventions to include to make my media product authentic and interesting.
