Pan Exam Practice

1. This film is an action adventure fantasy and swashbuckler hybrid
2. In this extract, the prominent conventions are that of speed and motion and combat and conflict. Many pan shots in the extract are used to connote speed and motion as there are several scenes in which boats are speeding across fantastical skylines and characters are swinging across vines or falling through the sky, which connotes speed and motion as the speed of the objects captivates the reader, leaving an uncertain fate of the characters, which is also created by the convention of combat and conflict, as many of the scenes in the trailer (due to it being a swashbuckler fantasy film) involve heavily choreographed swordfights between characters, connoting combat and conflict.
3. The main protagonist in the extract is not a stereotypical hero as he is a young child, which is very anti-stereotypical as children are often seen as the victims in action and adventure due to the common belief that children are weak and vulnerable as they are young and inexperienced, which is countered by the representation of the boy in the extract, who possesses attributes especially courage, as when he is held at swordpoint he does not give in to his attacker, and keeps himself very calm in the situation (which connotes bravery and heroic qualities)
