in moments of action, when people are breaking down doors or ducking a bullet, they aren't feeling any deep complex emotions... In the moment {of preparation or aftermath}... there are deep complex emotions at play... {it} shows so much more than just a battle...it shows character and relationships.http://sevencamels.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/picking-right-moment-to-illustrate.html
NB while the character may not be feeling any complex emotions while dodging a bullet, the reader should be. We should know what's in peril of being lost (stakes). (See Tip #211: Action scenes "emotion... {is} what makes a fight scene interesting".)
