A pirate action and adventure. One of the typical conventions for this action and adventure film is a lot of suspense as of the silence and the misty fog.  Captain Jack is the heroic protagonist as he shows courage in the face of danger. He leads by example and physical bravery that the other men look up to. The violinist antagonists includes the enemy ship and we support the British as they are our point on view in the movie.

1. A way in which the narrative fits the action and adventure genre is because of the violent weapons used. There are sounds of gun shots which indicates action in a violent way. All the men dodge the shots which is showing action as the men are acting in a superior way in order to dodge these bullets and save themselves. Another way in which the narrative fit the action and adventure genre is when all the men are shouting, this creates suspense for the viewer and they are frightened but engaged in what will happen or who will win the fight. 
    
2. Soundtrack- Creates effects as the silence creates suspense and anxiety for the viewers are they are curious as to what is going to happen. Then the contrast from the silence to the shouting and loud gunshots creates sudden fear but the effect of excitement of what is going to happen. When we hear the drum beat it generates tensions as it is very loud and sets the audience in fear.
   Editing- Editing includes gun fires exploding which gives the effect of suspense. The destroying of the boat which makes the boat look like it is really blowing up.
   Mise-en-scene-The fog and ships to make us believe they are actually on the sea wit a misty, frightening background.
   Camera work- Tracking shot to make captain seem superior, wide angle shot to show the whole atmosphere so we can feel more like we are there.
