Action Genres

Action films usually include a continuous high energy while having tremendous impact and lots of physical stunts and activity. This could be rescues, battles, fights, escapes and destructive crises.  The characters tend to feature two dimensional 'good guy' heroes battling the 'bad guys'.

The location is often set in a city location, or in a place with a large number of people, so there is a strong sense of suspense and defeat when the hero 'saves the day' causing maximum impact.

When observing the opening sequence of Spy Kids we noticed that we establish the location and characters while a lot of high action is occurring.
