Action/ Comedy Conventions & Iconography

Conventions:
There are some major icons in action/comedy movies, particularly movies which are gadget based, including things like phones, laptops, hard drives, gadgets and other pieces of technology. 
Also there are often many cars in action and there are usually guns, and other weapons. Below is a mind map of the main conventions used in these sorts of movies.

The main protagonist/s are usually male and are a police officer, spy or something similar to that, also the side kick is usually quite innocent and weak which adds the comedic aspect to the film. This is scene in movies like Hot Fuzz. 

Iconography:

An action/ comedy can consist of:

• Two main characters as 'partners in crime' (one clever the other dumb).
• Bright lighting/ warm colours.
• Slow motion for epic moments.
• Props such as weapons (guns), drugs and silly props like water guns to make fun of something serious. 
• Chase scenes.
• Chaos such as smashing through windows.
