Action

Any movement or series of events (usually rehearsed) that take place before the camera and propel the story forward toward its conclusion; the word called out (by a megaphone) at the start of the current take during filming to alert actors to begin performing; also refers to the main component of action films – that often contain significant amounts of violence.
