Action Research:
How is it action?
Action movies draw the attention of the public, as long as very strong things happen when there is a lot of tension between the characters and the same movie brings us the public that is watching the film. the emotions connect, the tension, the adrenaline connects with the public with action movies. These types of movies are famous as long as the actors are good, or the theme of the movie is interesting. they take time to come out but most of those movies always attract attention when they come out to the public.
Content:
Violent and physical feats, It is the most used content in these films, since it is to give a little tension to the situations in the films. Violence is always used in the middle of action movies to make it a little more interesting.

Ex: The film Black Panther Wakanda Forever, for example the fight scenes, all the scenes like that, bring the public so many emotions. Also, one of the important things is to see how the public of the movie reacts to all scenes, we can see those reactions on the internet about their opinion about certain scenes and how they felt at that moment.
This is mainly because in most action-based movies, they show the fight scenes from different angles and sometimes. Just a few seconds from different angles and because they're combined, you don't get most of what's going on. But these are usually in old movies. I think they made them longer now so the audience can see what's going on during the fight scenes. They happen so fast that passersby don't even see the main action. Almost always, one person hits another suddenly and quickly, and the target goes down. If not, the target retaliates just as quickly. It rarely lasts long and the attacker, without expecting retaliation for the blow, falls. The wrestlers, having exhausted their adrenaline rush.

Ex: Spider-man no way home, one of the best films created by the marvel company, very good action and good actors.
Is a mixture of the best elements of the different franchises. Tom Holland's Peter Parker deals with something never before seen in a Spider-Man movie: his identity has been revealed to the world. People either love him or hate him, and privacy is a thing of the past. However, when Peter's actions affect MJ and Ned's chance to go to MIT, he refuses to sit back and watch his friends lose their futures because of him.
This Spider-Man movie understands what viewers want to see, while addressing characters from their previous films in a serious light. No Way Home does its job as the movie fans would not want to miss. Being Spider-Man takes up a lot of time, and it leaves less space for Peter Parker to be a person on his own, no matter which version it is. But the movie also does well in having each Peter interact with a previous villain they had once fought. This time, rather than concluding in tragedy, curing the villains gives everyone a greater sense of closure, even if it is unknown if things changed once everyone was sent back to their universe. This is really important for an action movie and this is one of the amazing ones.

Ex: all the fast and furious movies, one of the featured movies and one of the best action movies.
Throughout the production lightning is one of the most important things that have to be used in movies to make them, the difference of having good lighting in movies makes them better. In action movies, the lighting of the recording is used, dark, with a lot of smoke, so that the tension of the place where the film is happening is felt. Normally action fights use them with dark lighting, to do it with more tension and not realize any mistakes they may have.
One of the most important things in action movies that are taken into account at 100% is the sound. Sound is one of the most important techniques for action movies, the sound of bullets, the screams of people, the loud sound created in an action movie scene makes the audience more interested and more suspenseful and so the way they want to attract people to action movies is to make it like a roller coaster of feelings and intrigue of knowing what is going to happen.
Ex: Star wars- when it comes to the times when they are fighting with their swords the sound gets louder when they collide.
Marketing:
The audience during these films consist mainly of people of all ages. We can say that from teenagers to older people can see these movies, children or older people depending on what type of action movie we are talking about, they can watch or listen to them. sometimes in movie scenes the sound becomes very harsh that can hurt the audience.
Many of the action movies, normally for banners to promote the movies, use depending on what it is about, firearms, fire, smoke, blood and things of violence, people with cuts, depending on what the movie is about to do. People who are interested in action, weapons and violence may be intrigued by such posters that can be used when promoting movies. The more visits and the more people talk about the movie, the more money is made and the more marketing is done.

As they corner Payne, he takes Harry hostage. Jack intentionally shoots Harry in the leg, forcing the bomber to release him. Payne flees and explodes the bomb, seemingly dying. Jack and Harry are praised by Lieutenant "Mac" McMahon, with Harry being promoted. Having survived the incident, however, Payne watches from afar. The next morning, Jack witnesses a mass transit bus explode orchestrated by Payne, who contacts Jack on a nearby payphone, explaining that a similar bomb is rigged on another bus, which will activate once it reaches 50 miles per hour (80 km/h) and detonate if it drops below 50. Payne also demands a ransom of $3.7 million and threatens to detonate the bus if the passengers are offloaded. Jack races through freeway traffic and boards the bus, but the bomb is already armed. He explains the situation to Sam Silver, the bus driver. However, a criminal on board, fearing Jack is about to arrest him, wildly discharges his gun, accidentally wounding Sam. Another passenger, Annie Porter, takes over for Sam, but when she tries to slow down so he can get help, Jack is forced to reveal the bomb, to the passengers' shock and horror. Jack examines the bomb underneath the bus and calls Harry, who works to identify the bomber. The bus is cleared to drive on an unopened freeway section.
