Action Trailer Code and Conventions

Action films are usually centred on a protagonist hero who has to overcome a series of challenges which test them physically and mentally. The trailer often has a 12 or 15 certificate; these are chosen due to the controversial actions that are initiated in these films. This immediately tells us the film will not child friendly and will feature violent scenes.

Many sub-genres in the action genre such as:
  • Action adventure
  • Action horror
  • Action comedy
  • Spy film

The trailer only shows the parts that contain the most amount of action, this is to entice the audience and encourage them to watch the film when it is released. The music is a very important aspect because it tells the audience when the action will take place; for example, if there is a car chase scene then the music will speed up.
