The Hurt
Locker.
Explain two ways the characters/ or events fit the
action adventure genre.
Q1. The characters in
this extract fit the genre action adventure because there are military people,
dressed in combat clothing. With helmets which is used for protection which is
nee in action films. They also have weapons which represents the action part
(war).
The event fits into the genre because it is in a town centre,
which a man has a bomb attached to him which could blow up, causing an
explosion and a massive riot between people.
Explain how
each of the following creates effect.
Q2. Soundtrack- Grip
onto gun which will cause tension for the audience, thinking that he is going
to shoot. Shouting makes people become interested because you don’t know what
is going to happen between them. Explosion which creates fear because the sound
surrounds them and makes them feel like they are in the explosion.
Editing- It is edited in different sections. There is a high
quality effect when the bomb goes off causing the smoke to look bigger than
what it is.
Mise-en-scene – There is a lot of shouting at the start and
crying for help, making it more dramatic than what it needs to be which then
creates a tense atmosphere ‘Help me I’m a family man’. They constantly have
guns in their hands which will make people alert of what may about to happen,
this could be shooting or they may even use it for protection. The setting
looks like it is in an empty town, this could be because of the atmosphere
which is going on around peoples home, and putting people at risk which will
make the audience feel frightened because of what may happen. The lighting is
normal which is making it look realistic which makes people more interested
than what they would be in a fake.
Camera work- A medium long shot is used when the man is undoing
his shirt to show the bomb, whilst still being able to see the men. There is a
close up shot of the soldier trying to help the man which is attached to bomb
(face shot). There is a Birdseye view shot at the start showing the setting of
where it is and being able to see the setting, the soldier and also the man
crying for help.
Discuss the
ways in which people are represented in the extract.
Q3. People are represented in the extract because people
shout in real life, causing conflict between one and other. This then causes a
war between people and putting people’s life’s at risk. Also military people have weapons and have
body armour to keep their selves protected and to keep their team protected from
enemies. The setting is in a street where people are looking out of their
windows. People in reality look out of their windows when there is
shouting/banging or shooting. People are represented in all types of different
ways during this extract. Race and nationality are represented because it isn’t
just an all-white cast, there is mixed race included in the cast. The cast isn’t
all English, there are cast with accent and are from different countries.
