The mechanic textual analysis (Action)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIm18bKtLY8&feature=related

At the start of the clip you see the titles and then you see a airplane and some nice cars on either side of it, you then see people whom look like business men come out of the plane and get into one of the cars. There is five cars all behind one another, they look as if they are body guards for the guy and they are following him to make sure nothing happens to him, this tells the audience he is going to be an important character.

The clip cuts from the nice area they're driving in to another area which looks more broken down and tatty, the men jump out the car with guns and one of the guys hit an innocent man, by seeing guns we see that the genre of the film may be action. While all of this happens the main guy stays in the car, this tells us as the audience that he's a powerful character and the other guys are working for him.

Once thats over they all drive into a very big mansion where there is servants waiting outside, this emphasises how powerful this man is. The guy walks through his out and gets into his swimming pool, again showing us that he is rich and if you think back to the gun scene it indicates maybe hes a criminal of some sort maybe a drug dealer.

As the guy is swimming he goes under water to get something and another guy is under there and attacks him until hes dead, the fact someone has killed him tells us he has done things to make people want to get revenge, all of this establishes the genre which is action.
