Research and planning

The genre in which I am basing my work on is action. Though I am theming it on the sub genre of superheroes.

Directors

Waschowski Brothers

The Wachowski brother's most famous directorial work for the action genre was 'The Matrix'. Their narrative work is usually told as multi part narrative as they base their work on the same style as a type of comic book.

Michael Bay

Michael Bay is best known for making large-budget action films, such as Armageddon, The Rock, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and producing remakes of horror movies such as Friday The 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as well as the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street.

His style of work is considered poor even though he has won many awards for his recent work in the film Transformers.

Martin Campbell

Martin Campbell's most famous work was directing many of the James Bond films such as 'Golden eye' and 'Casino Royal'. He has also directed the recent Zorro films as well. His awards have mostly been won in TV dramas where he won the British Academy Television Award for best director. It is confirmed now that he will be directing the super hero film 'Green Latern'

Genre: Action

The narrative of the action genre is largely told through physical action as opposed to dialogue. The main action is taken up by the Hero character of the film. The genre usually follows the theory of Strauss with the binary oppositions of Hero and villain fighting each other, which also could follow the same theory of Propp also. The action film genre is closely linked with the thriller and adventure genres.

Current trends for more modern action film, is alot more elaborate fight scenes (e.g. The martix etc).
