Genre: Action/CrimeNarrative: The 'hero' has no memory of anything and has to try and discover who he is and how he has gotten to where he is. He will do this by following a trail of clues often flashbacks or things found in his possession when he wakes. The victim will be pulled into this by being connected with the 'hero'. The villain would be trying to stop the 'hero' from trying to work something out whether its his own memory or something else.
Iconography: We expect to see a race to retrieve his memory involving fast paced action including car chases. (It gives the audience the feeling that film is going at rapid pace). We also expect the 'hero' to go through missions/trials and he needs to overcome them before time runs out.
Characters: The 'hero' is the character who the villains are going after while he is trying to get his memory back. In the end he would of got his memory back and then would be able to defeat the villains. The victim is a character who is somehow linked to the 'hero' and is targeted because of that. The victim is often a love interest as well. The villains is the ones chasing the 'hero' for their own benefits, and do not care who else they put in danger.
Camera work: Quick shots used to increase tension in action scenes (car chases and fighting). Tracking shots used for car chases so it is easy for the audience to follow it. Also extreme close ups used to emphasis an object and its importance such as a weapon which would be used later in the film. As well over the shoulder shots to show the audience who is talking in a conversation.
Settings: The majority of the film is in a busy city centre because in the chases whether running or in cars there is still the fact that innocent people would be endangered The more violent and fighting scenes will be n places where the 'hero' and victim are alone so the audience know there is no one to help them it is down to them.
