Protagonist	The protagonist is the hero in the movie. Usually, they are good. They would usually fight the antagonist and save the civilians while they are fighting. One of the common codes and conventions is a dismal in distress. This person is the protagonist’s girlfriend or someone he loves. The antagonist would usually capture this person force the protagonist the fight. This would happen in the middle of the film.

They would usually have a special ability which is unique to the person.  The antagonist would usually have a layer. The antagonist would usually have a goal and will do anything to accomplish it. At the end, the antagonist always loses.
Other characters	The other characters would be a sidekick, a damsel in distress and the family of the protagonist. These characters are important in the movie because they are used later on for the protagonist to help. In addition, the antagonist might have minions to help the antagonist out.
Plot	In the start the protagonist would be an average person and then gets the special ability. He would then use it to save the people. The protagonist would then face something difficult to accomplish. When they battle, it would be set in the urban city with the skyscraper to make it look intense for the audience.
Locations	While the protagonist and the antagonist are fighting, it is usually set in a big city. This has been used to show us that they are fighting in big skyscrapers and we the audience would want to see chaos. It would attract us the audience as we would want to see these buildings be destroyed. Green screens would be used for this. It would also be held in the antagonist’s layer.
Soundtrack	There would usually be slow music in the romantic part. There would be fast music in the action and when it starts to build up, this would create tension it makes us want to find out what is going to happen and who is going to win.  When someone dies, the music would suddenly stop which makes us be in shock. For example, in Harry Potter when Voldermout dies the music stops and then there is slow music.
Camera	One of the main camera techniques used is a point of view shot. This is because when the protagonist is thinking or looking at something which is important to the story. This technique is used so it would make us be like the protagonist as we are thinking the same way.
Mise-en-Scene	The protagonist would usually have make up for the face to match the costume. The dismal in distress would generally have make up to make her look attractive. When the protagonist is in costume it would tell us that he is going to do something or help someone as the protagonist wouldn’t goes as himself.
Editing	Lighting is used to show who is the protagonist and the antagonist. It is been used to make us know who is who. Without this, we would be confused and wouldn’t know whose side to be on and due to this you wouldn’t know what is going to happen.
Representation	Representation is used to sow different effects on different types of things. For example, the protagonist is shown as kind, strong and brave making us the audience be on his side. For the antagonist, he would be unattractive and much older than the protagonist. This makes us not want to be in his side as the antagonist is a bad person.
