Resumen del Recurso

Science Fiction
  1. Iconography
    1. Technology, spaceships, rockets, ray guns, sentient computers, time machines, tele-porters, robots, futuristics cityscapes
    2. Setting
      1. The key word for science fiction is displacement; we are removed from our familiar, contemporary society and placed in a realm with markedly different rules. A common misconception with Science Fiction is that it must be set in the future. The genre, however, can also deal with scientific or technological themes in a contemporary setting.
      2. Style
        1. There is often an emphasis on awe-inspiring spectacle, with special effects sequences recreating voyages through outer space, contact with aliens, or remarkable machines.
        2. Narrative
          1. A central concern common to science fiction narratives is the contentious relationship between technology and society. This struggle often expresses itself as a narrative of good vs evil. In post-apocalyptic Science Fiction films, such as Mad Max; the effort to rebuild civilisation is contested by opposing factions, each representing differing and morally contrasting attitudes to technology and knowledge
          2. Characters
            1. Contains an array of outlandish character types including robots, cyborgs, mad scientists, monsters, extra-terrestrials and alien life forms. Threw are obvious generic links here with horror and fantasy. These are cross-genre characters, such as the hero, the female romance interest and the villain, which hark back to folk stories, mythology or earlier non-science film forms.
            2. Themes
              1. Comments on society's relationship with science and technology by offering us terrifying and fascinating 'what if?' scenarios. The fear of advancing machine intelligence.
              2. Audience responce
                1. Offers viewers the chance to immerse themselves in richly detailed future world, ponder metaphysical questions about the nature of humanity or thrill to astounding special effects set pieces.
