Action Cliches

Action cliches always contain a vast amount of fast quick scenes as by this the genre is aimed at middle ages males as the action scenes don't tend to be of girls interests. Tending to be in an urban location as it is the perfect setting for all the content of what goes on in an action film.

For example 'District 9' from watching the opening 2 minutes you are abel to see the genre in action as the setting is what i'd call animated and game like, the use of efects make it quick by using the fade in and out of black but keeping on the same scene this keeps you focosed on the film and interested.

Crime cliches

In crime the clichés involved are a car chase this is used to build tension as it is a fast moving scenes, the cop wanting to solve the problem by this on most of the chase sceenes after the convict. Sometimes there is the wife who is oblivious to what her partner is doing although sometimes is hiding the truth. Fast chase scenes and urban locations perfect for crime locations.

For example 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' this being a good example although the location/ setting aren't always urban it also shows that it dosen't have to be an urban location to involve crime. The zoom shots make you feel as if you are getting deeper into the film by this making you focused from the very start so you get in every detail. The car chases and quick view of the police car again resembles that it is crime related as well as the season being winter makes it a cold and anticipating film.

180° Rule

In Filmmaking the 180° rule is a basic  guide that two characters or more in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera goes over the imaginary line joining the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is called a reverse angle.
