The genre we chose for this was Sci-Fi, as one of
the film ideas we involved a supernatural side
of it with Evil and Good Protagonist’s. The other
genre which our short film lead to is action
which a fight scene between the two main
characters.
Other Film Ideas: Death of good
or evil character, further plot
twist in order to surprise the
audience. General plot, involves
the good protagonist saving
innocent people while his sister
has been held captive by the evil
character which results into a
fight.
Combining Action and Sci-Fi,
by adding the supernatural
theme to the short film. This
compliments the fight scene
which occurs mid way through
the film.
2. Analysis of Action and Sci-Fi genre.
• With an action genre there is one or more heroes, they would also be
challenged by multiple obstacles such as fights involving violence and
physical feats. The movement of the characters would result in frantic
chases. Other things that would contribute to the struggle of the main
protagonist would be against incredible odds this would include life
threatening situations, this type of pursuit would usually conclude in
scene where the hero triumphs or defeats the villain.
• Fictional science is usually based on phenomena which isn’t fully accepted
by mainstream science, such as inhuman power and perception of the
world, time travel and other forms of life. These are accompanied by
elements such as superior technology, space crafts, outer universe devices
and life forms. These type of films are often focused on political or social
issues, this is done in order to explore philosophical views such as the
human condition.
3. Context
• Main idea behind the short film was a fight
between an evil and good brother, (evil and
justice). Furthermore there is only one who
can really stop them and prevent their fight
from destroying the world and that is their
sister.
