Conventions for action film:

In action films it normally involves good characters trying to defeat bad characters. There are normally a large group of bad characters and only a few good characters and they have to rise against them. During the film you can expect innocent people to be harmed or killed. You will see the main character suffer at some point during the film because he/she will have a weakness. The film will be set in a normal environment like a city (a public everyday place).

We are introduced to the main character near the start. He is portrayed as being sly and skillful as he takes down about 10 of the bad guys without them having a chance to get him. We are also introduced to who appears to be the leader of a gang. He comes across this way as he is dressed in a suit and he is feared yet respected by his people that he is with. We also see that he is a drug addict. there is also a small girl who we know is the daughter of one of the men who gets killed. we also see that she knows the main character and is helping him out by buying some milk.

During the action scenes the editing involves faster cuts and jump cuts to add tension to the scene and also makes it feel more fast pace. *
