Pre-Production Planning- Research
02:41I did some research into similar films with the genre Action Thriller and looked into other movies to see how they represent this genre through camera, editing, sound and mis-en-scene.

Camera Angles and Shots
The types of Camera angles and shots I hope to use are short clips stringed together. This is because they speed up momentum and create action. Also using a variety of shots such as slow pans, behind-the-shoulder, extreme-closeups, closeups, medium shots, long shots, extreme long shots, point-of-view shots, cut-aways and wide shots.
The camera angles I hope to use are eye-level, high angle, low angle, bird's eye.
I also want to include camera movement such as tilt, panning and dolly.
Examples of this can be found in this clip of Casino Royale:
Editing
In my editing I want to included shots of short duration edited together. I may include some cut-aways at still action to contrast different momentums. I would make the pace and rythmn fast paced and upbeat along with the sound. I will also include elements of montage. In transitions I want to include black cuts. I will use a lot of match on action too.
An example of this is here at 1:52
Mis-en-scene
Lighting: In my research I came across many different types of lighting styles used in action films.
