Genre blog: Sci-fi

 Hey blog! it’s me again!Today I've search the internet to find the common conventions of the genre Sci-fi. So let's get into this.


Common camera angles of Sci-fi include extreme long shot, long shot, bird's eye view, medium long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, Dutch angle, tracking shot, over the shoulder, low angle and high angle.   


Mis-En-Scene that are common in Sci-fi include the following. Sets displaying  dystopian future, space and post apocalyptical worlds. Props that are  futuristic and high tech computers, weapons. Makeup that is gory, cybernetic and realistic looking. Costume are  futuristic/ alien tech dystopian usually represent their jobs.


Editing usually brings the movies to life. Major of this being with special visual effects or CGI. The color palette commonly used are cool tone and duller lighting. Jump cuts and cross cutting are used to add suspense.


Common sound used are diegetic sound, voiceovers, ambient sound and sound motif.

This is done to develop the futuristic feel of the movie. 


Examples of Sci-fi movies are The Hunger Games, Star Wars and Avatar.


I like the elements that are futuristic and realistic elements which allows the audience to easily to connect to the story. And element I don't particularly like is also how realistic the movies can be as it can feel to  much like real life. And also the gore as I feel it would be too much for our project.

that’s ir for today blog! until next time, karina logging off.

You sure youâ €™re not a robot?     Lana looks up at her, expression unreadable, then flips her notebook to a blank page and scribbles something. She holds it up:     “Sheâ €™s watching.â €     RILEY   (frowning)   Uhâ €¦ whoâ €™s watching?     Lana points toward the dark hallway leading to the bedrooms. Riley follows her gazeâ €”just darkness.     RILEY   Nice try. You trying to freak me out?     Lana shakes her head, eyes wi...

Critical Reflection for Short Film

  After our film “She’s Here” was released, many questions began to form, one of the questions that stood out to me the most was how our products represented social groups or issues. To begin, the main representation in our film was disability where the kid that the babysitter is taking care of is a mute child. We made this obvious to the audience when the child, Lana, began to write in her daily notebook to communicate with her babysitter. The use of the mute child showed how lack of communication could occur even when you say everything properly, but the tone you say it can have a strong impact on how the person receiving the message interprets the message, which is an entirely different form of “lack of communication”. This can also connect to social issues in life, for instance, the experience the child goes through can sooner or later lead to post-traumatic distress for the child and even the babysitter, affecting the mental health of one another. Along with this, the child be...
