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.
