In the scene where Moore successfully wins the battle against K-Mart selling bullets he is viewed by a low camera angle, which implies his power and capability. However the most important use of camera angles is when Michael Moore targets Charlton Heston. When the NRA rally comes to town, footage is shot with a low camera angle to emphasise Charlton Heston’s power and authority.

Bourne identity – action mystery thriller Raider of the lost ark – action adventure 1. The definition of an action film is one where the protagonist is put into many difficult situations where they must win or escape with extreme physical feats, fights and guns. In conventional action films they seem to follow a code of rules: guns girls and explosions. These films are known as ‘dumb’ action films while action films that make you think more where there are less of the conventions aforementioned. However all action films follow certain conventions such as having a romantic subplot where the protagonist falls in love with someone, there are always nearly weapons in an action film whether it be a gun or a bow an arrow, and most notably is the simple plot line of good against bad.
These scenes were vital to the overall effect of the movies. To capture this correctly, Mel Gibson had to work the camera angle in many different, creative ways. One huge difference that I noticed between the way the action scenes were shot in both movies were the perspectives. In Braveheart, Gibson really got up close and made you feel as if you were in the battle yourself. He showed all the battle scenes from a soldiers point of view which made it all the more enjoyable.

Blade Runner is one of the examples of how you can take a camera and really envelop your audience in the atmosphere of the world you’re trying to create. Nolan definitely tried to emulate that style, and in doing so he actually created homage. Although he did use the inspiration he got from Blade Runner, he also used some of his own creative elements to put his spin on his
Do video games lead to violence? I totally agree violent video games are not all so bad. I mean they teach you hand-eye coordination and can teach you things to help you one day in a violent situation. Yes it may cause aggression; I will get into depth about this in the next paragraph. But long ago violent games were invented based on violent movies so if someone says it causes aggression then some movies in the world cause aggression too.
According to Ph.D. research sociologist Brian Uzzi of Northwestern University, movie buzz can often help a film become a blockbuster hit. Certain movies seem to creep into the airwaves and receive constant chatter from news organizations, online sites, talk-show hosts and radio DJs. This can occur even before a film has been officially released. When the movie buzz hits a certain critical mass through this word-of-mouth marketing, suddenly audiences will want to see it and it becomes a blockbuster The success of a film's opening weekend is often considered one of the benchmarks for its blockbuster status. Studios carefully stage advertising campaigns with posters, press interviews, billboards and sneak previews before a movie's official open over a weekend or holiday.
Regardless of the genre (drama, comedy, romance), a film score can add to nearly any scene. In an action scene, the music will match the action in terms of power and intensity. In a comedy scene, the music can be expected to be as light or silly as the action taking place in the scene.
