Action film opening (dark knight rises)
Codes and
conventions
In the
opening the genre of action is shown through codes and conventions. For
example, Non- diegetic sound change is present which makes the scene tense for
the audience. Tense music shows us something is going to happen. Guns and masks
are on the characters so we know a robbery is likely, this engages the audience
as it’s an exciting start. There are various camera shots used that established
the genre, for example there is an establishing shot of New York City, this
shows the audience where it is set. Close up shots are used of the characters
faces and medium shots to show their actions.
Non diegetic
and diegetic sound is used, the diegetic sound is the characters speech to each
other during the scene and the non-diegetic sound is the tense music which
tells us there is a crime happening.
