    Action movies typically feature conventions like guns, explosions, speed, adrenaline, chases and fear. They are often presented as prison break series or single dramas. The movie "Taken 2" is a good example as it shows fast paced action with explosions and crashes from the beginning. Horror movies commonly include conventions such as blood, murder, killers and haunted things. They aim to frighten audiences with jumpy scenes using pops, sounds and creepy elements like wind and shadows. "Paranormal Activity" effectively uses these horror conventions.
