The film opening I am making is an action film, I have researched generic conventions for action films to help improve my opening sequence.
Guns, action films are well known for having lots and lots of guns. Almost every character carries some form of weapon usually and they play a vital role in the fight scenes.
Secret missions, the protagonist is usually tasked with completing a very dangerous top secret mission, normally involving infiltrating a certain group of villains.
Explosions, every action film will include a scene where something explodes, it seems that many action films try and fit in as many explosions as possible as they give a sense of awe to the film and get hearts racing.
Chase scenes, an action film will include a scene where someone, most likely the protagonist, is being chased by a group of official looking bad guys.
Fight scenes, action movies always have to have lots of these, well co-ordinated fights scenes are essential for an action film and are good to get adrenaline pumping and define the protagonist as the hero by defeating the villains.
