1.)    The characters fit the action and adventure film because, they are sailors who are in uniform this identifies them as navy this represents the military theme. Also the action theme comes in during a naval battle between two ships, this shows how naval warfare would be like in 1805. It shown the smoke and fire off the cannons and muskets which are used this shows the amount of gunpowder and lack of visibility they had during battles.
2.)    The sound track gives the realistic sound effects of cannon fire, gun fire and the shouting/screaming of injured men. This gave a realistic feeling of the battle and what an actual battle sound like. The camera work is very first person to show what It would be like to be placed there, it also does an eagle eye view (establishing shot) this shown the battlefield and what is taking place, also the camera angle goes under water when the ship starts to sink to give a more dramatic scene of men drowning and dying. The editing of this film is very fast passed to show the speed and progression of the battle, it shows cannon fire and trails the shot into the ships, and this shows the speed and velocity of the shots. However, the editing slowed down towards the end of the fight as the ship sunk the pace of editing slowed. Mise en scene, the people in this scene are wearing naval uniform this shows military which tends to be involved in action films. Also the setting of this scene is in the middle of the ocean this shows the adventure and exploration that the film contains.

3.)    Captain Jack Aubrey is represented as a fearsome and intelligent and passionate commander as he waits for the perfect time to fire his canons on the other ship. This represents his skill as a leader and shows how he was victorious through patience’s and strategy.
1.)    The events which take place during hurt locker suit the action adventure genre. Because there is certain scene for example: the scene when he is wearing a juggernaut suit and is walking towards the bomber. This was a tense moment because it shown the fear and a realistic atmosphere of others in the area and gave a very realistic feeling. Another scene is after the explosion and the aftermath as the soldiers re gain their balance from the force of the explosion.
2.)    The sound affects for this film sound very realistic. For example, the explosion from the bomb gave a ringing sound afterwards to give the feeling of a high pitch explosion and the more realistic features of what the effect of a bomb would do. The editing of this clip is very slow; this gives of the drammaticness the actual scene. The scene of him attempting to defuse the bomb was very slow but sped up as he ran away from the bomb. Mise en scene is the costumes involved in the theme of the film; this film has a very military looking mise en scene with a juggernaut suit, body vest, and camouflaged uniforms. The camera angles used are mainly the tracking shot, this follows the character through the scene wand shows a more dramatic scene and the scenery around them.

3.)    Characters are represented as more heroic for example, the man walking towards the bomber risks his own life to try and save the other. Even though he wasn’t able to save the man’s life it shown that the character has a lot of courage and heroism as he stays right in till the last second before he ran away. This shown bravery and the attitude he has towards others. The suicide bomber looks very stereotypical, with a strong Arabic look and speaks Arabic as well, this shows the stereotype that people in the west have created. It makes him out to be a bad guy at the start but we figure out that he is not there to hurt anyone and that this was forced upon him. This could be the film makers telling us that not everyone from the middle east are actually evil/terrorist’s.
