Content: What are the key elements of these sub-genres? And how do they manifest in the cinematic landscape? Let’s take a look: Action
Action indicates a portrayal of threat. This could be because of altruistic, evil or supernatural causes and will likely involve fighting or battle sequences. Furthermore, ‘Action’ usually speaks to the pace and structure of the story, centred around set-pieces and building to a climactic finale. 1. Superhero
This will involve one singular heroic figure with special or supernatural abilities. Or a group of such characters banded together. They will become the supernatural representatives of human concerns – saving the world, stopping an evil presence, preserving humanity.
