GENRE EXERCISE

My team which consisted of Lana, Sarah, and myself, were given the genre of Action and tasked to shoot a short in that style.

We made a little short called Curry Fighting. It was based around two men fighting over a takeaway curry and had an element of comedy to it as well.

We researched other action films and found that there were common cinematography elements to each of the action films. These were:

• Handheld
• Sweeping Pans
• Slow Motion
• High Shutter Speed
• Quick Cuts
• High Angles
• Low Angles

I decided to utilise these in my own way and this is what came out of it.

(The rest of the scene was shot by other students.)
