Director - Christopher Nolan

He often films in a Art Noir style which complement the character in his films and the feelings he is trying to get across. Art nior style often uses low and directional, desaturation and a large amount of depth of field. This type of filming gives a very stylistic film and lends itself to psycho thrillers. The protagonist is always fuelled by revenge and has a psychotic nature which I feel really makes his films so compelling. I have found because of Nolan’s influences we have also represented the protagonist in the same light. We can manipulate his style by incorporating elements such as flashbacks of their past and giving our protagonist a psychological disorder.

Directors - Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan

Director - Michael Bay


Director - Peter Berg

Iconography & Conventions



These are the main conventions used and seen in an action film genre. The purpose of this video is to help us realise what conventions are used in a professional action movie and to help produce a professional looking film opening. Some of the features we looked at were colour correction, colour grading, camera shots, camera angles, depth of field, etc.

Billing Order




We will use the order of the titles here to help up do the titles of our own film as these are the conventions and how it should be done to help our work look like it is a film opening. Without it the audience might get confused and think it is a short film instead. There are lots of similar things between the three films which is the rules they followed to make it look like the start of a film.
