The Goonies

In the beginning of the film the story introduces a treasure map which is found in the main characters attic. They then decide to go on an adventure to find the treasure to save their houses from being demolished and turned into a golf course. The map first takes them to a run down restaurant where they met the Fratellis, which are a family of fraudsters and murderers, here they discover that the map will take them to there next destination which is underground. One of the Goonies is then kidnapped by the Fratellis. The Goonies then go on to follow the different deathly task to find the treasure. The Fratellis soon catch up to them but in the end the Fratellis get caught  by the police and the Goonies find the treasure and save their houses with the treasure they found.
The Genre of the film is adventure. We find this out by the storyline and the elements such as fast music throughout the adventure and the location as it is in a hidden cave.
The main characters in the film are Mickey and his crew of Goonies, The Fratellis and Sloth. The Goonies are a group of friends that are there to save the day. Followed by the stereotypical bad guys, The Fratellis. In the group of Goonies there are a wide range of personalities and we can relate to this by ourselves having many different people in our group of friends.
In the Goonies there are many different camera angles such as long shots, close ups and tracking shots. The editing were manly all cut which shows continuity however there was parallel editing to they fratellis chasing after the Goonies. When the Goonies slide down a water tunnel they used a tracking shot and they also used close ups of each of their faces to show the reaction to what was happening. The costumes worn by the Goonies was casual dated clothing back to the 20th century. Due to the cave the lighting of the film was always quite dark except from the lanterns. The map and the treasure were the main props in the film.
