Question 1 - Robin Hood
From the very first scene, you can tell that this movie set out to be an action/adventure movie. You can obviously tell who the main protagonist is because he is always depicted in the centre of the camera with numerous hero shots that emphasises his heroism. However he is not your typical hero - he is dressed untidily showing that he is a low rank in the advancing army. From the setting and fast action (a battlefield), you can tell that speed and motion are integral to the production of this scene. Conflict and combat are the key themes in this. The genre could be described as an Action/Adventure movie but can also be described as Action/War or Action/Thriller.

A bit less detailed than it should be and certainly less than your last prep analysis: identify what Robin Hood does that defines him as a hero (as well as the camerawork constructing him as a hero).
ReplyDeleteStart your answer by identifying the genre (or sub genre). Here, you should use terms such as 'historical' as well. What conflict takes place EXACTLY? What weapons make this historical?
