Pirates of the Carribean is a fantasy, action, adventure film. This is made clear within the opening sequence via the representation of the era (the eighteen hundreds-the veiwer can see this trough the costume worn by the characters and the buildings/objects surrounding them that suit the time period) and the location it's set in, e.g. the boat in the middle of the sea when the scene starts and the port town which is depicted afterwards. The action element of the film is made visable through the use of such things such as the sinking ship, distructive crises like this it is typical of an action film.
