Action film types- Hot Fuzz

For this Part of research me and Dan looked at the different types styles used by directors when producing action films.
Our reasons for doing this is so that we can get a better understanding of what works well and so we can see the mise en scene of the films e.g seeing what clothes are worn, props etc.

To do this me and Dan looked at a few trailers so we could pick up on all theses aspects and give us a in depth look into the Action movie style.



This is one of my and Dans favourite films Hot Fuzz, This is comes under a Comedy Genre as well as being full of action. From this trailer we noticed that...

• There policeman- serious, responsible, but also portrayed to play jokes and which takes the seriousness out of it and makes it a more enjoyable watch.


• Murder- makes you realise the film is serious and is full of action which again makes it a enjoyable but more interesting watch.


• There is a personal dilemma in the film as well as in the story as a whole which makes you gripped to it and want to stay focused.


• In the opening to the film you instantly know who the main character is and what his role is, you realise this when he shows his police badge.


• Showing the weapons symbolises that the characters have power and are better than those who don't.

Sponser straight away in a spin effect "Universal" and then working title after his description "working title" makes film more professional.

Description of main character blended into various character and whats the dilemma and how he can overcome it.

Action in a silent speech of comedy to inflict more interests and makes it more successful and affective and not just a typical action film. (1.10-1.14) (1.32-1.39) (1.50-1.58)- minute in Video

Comedy speeches can inflict violence and action e.g. "three people have died in a week" ... "accidents happen all the time what makes you think it was murrrdderrr?"

Police badge symbol code effective background and colour that resembles the police society of today/ blue (1.15-1.17)- "minute in video"
