Action-Spy


                               My Genre of Choice

As you already may of known I have chosen my genre fro my two-minute opening to be the action-spy genre. From analysing the main movie genres I decided this was the best one to use because there is countless of editing skills and camera shots I can use. Also, films in this genre typically have action and tension in the first few minutes, which always leaves the audience second guessing and will want to watch on (that is a sign of a good movie). I hope to re-created that in my own piece. 

To help me with my film, I will be looking at three different openings to movies I believe that will help influence and inspire me. Firstly, I have currently analysed James Bond-Quantum of Solace, it has shown that it uses many code and conventions I can use in my own work what will show it is the genre of my choice. Next, I will be looking at another action-spy movie from the other side of the spectrum, Alfred Hitchcock's famous The 39 Steps. I chose to analyse this because it would help me see how spy films have changed through the growing decades and also can show influence into my own film. Lastly, Mission Impossible will be another movie I want to analyse. It will be similar to the James Bond movie I have just looked at, however, It is set in america so their could be a major contrast of how it is done. 

I chose these three films to specifically give me a completely different variety of the action-spy genre because I can influence their style and modify my own.
