Jurassic Park was made in 1993 and is an Adventure film. The Film contains many codes and conventions of the adventure film genre. For example:
The genre is often combined with other sub genres, and this is the case with Jurassic Park, which has elements of Science-Fiction. Adventure films usually have high production values, with a great deal of special effects. Jurassic Park contains a lot of CGI and special effects, and many say that it "revolutionised" the way special effects are used in films. Adventure films typically feature dramatic non-diegetic sound. This is true for Jurassic Park, which has an iconic soundtrack true to the nature of Adventure films. Adventure films typically feature "new" technology, something that helps it appeal to a younger audience. This is obviously a huge part of Jurassic Park, which features technology able to bioengineer and clone dinosaurs. Adventure films such as Jurassic Park generally have unrealistic plots, however the characters are still believable and are true to those you may meet in everyday life. This allows the audience to connect more with the unrealistic plot, through characters they can imagine themselves as. Adventure films often have humorous dialogue between characters, often to diffuse tension. This is occasionally seen in Jurassic Park, however i would not say it is a huge element. The target audience for Adventure films are usually quite wide. Adventure films are typically aimed at males, aged 15-24, and I would say that this is true for Jurassic Park. However some adventure films can be made with a younger audience in mind. Jurassic Park follows the typical three part narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium, equilibrium. Typical of Adventure films, it features one long quest with constant set backs, with many chase scenes, which get more tense, to excite the audience. Jurassic Park follows many codes and conventions for action films, which we could use in our film. I particularly like the use of non-diegetic sound and realistic characters, both of which we could consider using in our film.
