After watching the Austin Powers advert with tom cruise as Austin Powers. One of the action and adventure conventions was combat and action such as the frequent use of guns and the amount of explosions going on. Tom Cruise is playing Austin Powers, Tom Cruise is usually featured in Action movies. It include lots of suspense and explosions, combat and conflict using guns and rockets. Speed and motion with use of cars and helicopters. Although it is a spoof it has quite a crude script. The camera angles used consisted of, tilt pan and pan shot.There are heroes and villains as well as eye candy for the male audiences, Gwyneth Paltrow is wearing a tight uniform and the camera angle starts off at her shoes and goes up. There are lots of stunts with parachuting into a car at the start and shooting down a helicopter in mid air. This is a very good advert.
You have remembered Action Adventure conventions but need to support your points with specific examples for each, identify an example of suspense for instance, then combat and conflict and so on. You get going towards the end in your last paragraph where you draw attention to specific camera movements (tilt pan) and jeopardy (stunts).
