Question 1
This clip fits the action adventure genre because It is all
military based which goes all around the world and their costumes are all
machine based. The character is the hero because he defeats the enemy. In this
genre you would expect a strong male for the main character, which nic is. He
is a one man army which makes everything look easy, this is shown in the clip
when nic is speaking to Rita and shoots 2 enemies without looking.
The setting on the beach is a combat zone because there are
explosions all over, with machines going all over the beach causing conflicts
between the characters and the enemies. Combat zones are popular in action
adventure films because of the outcomes.
Question 2
Soundtrack:
Robotic/hydraulic sound, you can hear the machines scrape across the floor and
nic punching the machine, which causes tension because it will make people get
interested and also creates a futuristic effect. There is fast music in the
background which makes it look like there is a big explosion going to happen.
There are masculine noises which he makes (heavy breathing, punching etc.) It
is cinematic, heavy footprints when running, getting loud at certain point
which causes tension.
Editing:
It is edited in different sections. It is edited when they are tackling the
enemies on the beach, causing high quality in explosions. This was by making it
brighter and louder than what it was when filmed. It was also used when gun
shots were fired and hit the enemies; this made it look as if it was high
quality shooting and to also make it looks as if he has power. They also use
editing with the explosions in the background. There is a jump edit which when
they are jumping from one side to another but is slowed right down. They have
effect of making the view of caravans dull; this creates the emotion of fear
and also can make the audience feel frightened.
Mise-en-scene:
This is used at the start of the scene when nic is in a highly technologized costume,
making him look as if he has the power and makes it look as if he is protected
from the evil. Weapons are highly used to represent the action in the film. The
lighting is used to create realism to the audience and to make it real instead
of fake. This give the audience a good view and keeps them interested. It gives
off a freeze frame when he has battled the machines; this gives the audience a
good look of what his facial expressions are. It zooms right in on her face
when they are in the room, speaking about what happened next, which shows the
fear. When he jumps to help save the woman, He jumps higher that what he
probably did giving us the effect of that he may have powers.
Camerawork:
The editors use a tracking shot which means that the camera is following the
character, this is used in the film when they are running towards the vehicles.
They do a close-up when they are sat on the beach when they are speaking about
who is going where. They also use a high angle shot when nic is trying to
battle the cranes. There is an over the shoulder shot which makes us look like
we are following her. The second part slows right down with a bird’s eye shot.
There are also close up shots of when they are on the beach and have just
killed a enemy and they are speaking about what is going to happen next.
