Action scenes would usually start with a cold opening with crazy camera movement to build up tension and shacky camera movement to build up anxiety. It will also have some dark lighting to it as well. Horror also start of wth a cold opening by using dark lighting, shacky and hand held camera movent, and straight cut away, and mostly close up shots to make something or someone look scary. Romance. would establishing relationship mostly with motogages. So the lighting is brighter, the pacing would be faster to show time pogress, it would use dolly.

Auditory element:

For action the sound affects would need punching and the music would need to bring tension and make your heart race. Horror would use high pitch sound affect and suspensful music to make the scene more scary. And the romance would need some romantic and light hearted music

Character development:

The way a character is developed in a action scene is by using action to show that they changing. Horror they uses scary scenes to show their character development. Romance they use montages to show their growth.

Plot introduction:

For action they could either cold opening or exciting day of life to and action that is connected to what is going on in the scene. Horror also does this also wiht cold opening but they uses elements to make their scens more scary. Romance uses two people in a relationship and a montoage of their life together from how it began and how it is now.
