Genre Research



Genre research

I am researching films of the sci-fi genre, as this is the main genre of our film.
Sci-fi movies can include many objects or themes that could not exist in reality, and they can be of different forms. Superpowers, time travel, new technology and other worlds are just some conventions of sci-fi.

The film “limitless” is based around a drug that increases the brain’s function, giving him amazing memory capacity and some “superpowers”. Our film will have similar abilities based on brainpower.






 “Looper” is based around the concept of time travel, and a man is tasked with killing his future self. He acts in a similar way to our protagonist in his isolated nature but understanding of unnatural occurrence.

                                   






Iron Man is an example of a superhero sci-fi movie, but the character has no special powers but has built a suit to give him extra abilities. This proves that sci-fi events don't have to be far-fetched and could be possible in the real world. The character also acts irresponsible at times, similar to how our character can be.


SO I have found that there are many different things to base a sci-fi film around, but all are not (yet) possible in the real world.
