Swan Song - Codes and Conventions

The codes and conventions of our film are similar to that of an action film, being fast-paced with fights and shoot-outs. Our film opening also has a chase scene. These are all typical, expected conventions in an action film. Another convetion of action films is that there is always a motive, this is similar to Swan Song as Dan (Grove) has a motive to kill Aran as is shown by the flashbacks while he is walking into the school. Lastly, one of the most common conventions of an action film that we have included in ours is death.
