Action film codes and conventions

Action films always have alot of explosions and crashes and destruction. Traditionally most action films use low key lighting when it comes to filming the villains to give a sense of evil. Most action films are linked with Sci-Fi, Adventure and Romance films. These sort of films use fast paced editing and alot of CGI and nod-diagetic sound to cause effect. Action films do now have alot of comedy and romance and tend to use modern technology which would attract a younger audience.
