Film Stills:
The image below is a film still from a action genre film. The way that the genre is established is through the use of props and wardrobe. For example in this picture their is a gun, money and alcohol along with characters dressed in sharp suits that give the impression of a smart gangster appearance.
This film still is also from an action genre of film. This is clear due to the man jumping from one care to another, what looks like a fast car chase and the collision of cars in the background.
This final action genre film still depicts what looks like a war scene. This is made clear by the uniform that the two characters are wearing the surrounding area being filled with war weapons and what looks like a tank moving in the background. Therefore it is clear that this will be an action filled film due to the nature of war being very unpredictable, violent and fast pace.
