Small Soldiers

Analysis

Small soldiers fits the action genre because it has numerous battles during which explosives and weapons are used, it also contains a group of commandos which turn out to be the bad guys.

The cinematography helps to indentify the genre in many ways i.e. the camera shots are quick when action is taking place, also the appearance of the animations is emphasised which shows the strength of the characters, i.e. their muscles. The commandos are also always shot from a low angle which makes them seem more powerful and superior to the humans.

The music is mainly fast paced and tense which builds on the action and tension within the clip. The voice over is stereotypically deep and powerful which matches the genre this engages the target audience, who are children over the age of 8 and is aimed more towards boys.
