Spiderman is an example of an action and adventure film. One of the ways that you can identify that it is a part of the action and adventure genre is the characters. In the extract Spiderman is the protagonist and is going to take revenge by catching the antagonist, the man who shot and killed his uncle and is currently on the run from the police. Spiderman has only just learnt how to use his powers and is already using them for the greater good by chasing down a villain. Unlike some other super heroes, Spiderman only uses his powers for good and doesn't intend to be violent or hurt others in the process. This shows us that he is like most protagonists in the action and adventure genre.
Another way in which the movie fits the action and adventure genre is the use of speed and motion in the camerawork. The extract includes high angle shots showing the height of the buildings that Spiderman crawls his way up in pursuit of the antagonist, this excites and thrills the audience. There is also the use of fast tracking shots making the audience feels as though they too are in the chase scene.
