Pan: Action Adventure

The Movie advert for Pan shows us that the movie is in the action adventure genre, but in a sub-genre called Swashbuckler, fantasy or quest, which is mostly on the adventure side. The main conventions in the advertisement show spectacle when the flying pirate ship is floating through the sky and hovering what seems to be a giant quarry in 'Neverland'. There is also a sense of Suspense and Jeopardy as the main protagonist, (the boy) is captured and taken onto the pirate ship and when he seems to be taken or held by some other antagonists. The main character is not represented as a typical hero as he is young and may be depicted as quite useless and weak in situations that are shown in the advert. At the start he does show some signs of going against the rules as he seems to be in an orphanage and he drops he bowl on the floor with food splashing out of it onto the stone surface below, he shows strength and confidence when he is not scared about the consequences that may follow after him misbehaving. Although he may not look like a stereotypical hero you may see in other movies, he has the qualities of a hero such as inner strength and courageous.
