Austin Powers and Tom Cruise
we watched the ad Austin Powers and tom cruise. one convention used here is jeopardy and suspense. it has Austin Powers jumping over the helicopter and you don't know of he is going to land or not.you also have the car chases and the helicopter shooting at the motorbike. they also put the scene where Austin Powers is jumping over the helicopter in slow motion for suspense. the music in the background shows jeopardy. the fact that they used Tom Cruise shows that Austin is young and good looking when in actual fact he is not.

  1. You show good understanding of Action Adventure conventions (jeopardy and suspense) although you would need to explain in what way the music creates a feeling of danger.
    You are less sure of yourself when writing about the hero. Focus on what 'heroic' behaviour he shows, such as being brave, athletic, resourceful, daring, good with women.
