This was the first one I did, before any proper work on the subject, and it isn't very well written because I didn't really understand how to analyze it. I'm not going to change anything though because it shows how much more understanding I gained on how to analyze films and genres.
Sci-Fi
Most science-fiction films or movies don't contain lots of hidden things in the background that the characters can't see, usually things like that in sci-fi are aliens in disguise or something and they are notice through strange actions or sounds.
The shooting of science-fiction varies between types of shots, when seeing alien ships or bases that are computer generated images they mainly show little parts of them with the people acting and not often large parts, in order to hide the fact that it's been animated and create a more realistic effect. They use close-ups when alien species or strange things things are being shown so viewers can see the differences between worlds or societies.
The sounds in science-fiction are usually similar, most are sharp, they stand out and sound adventurous and match the themes, some editors choose to use the same 'theme song' and simply change the length, loudness and speed to match the different scenes in the movie, keeping all the scenes related.
Many sci-fi films are quite different from other genre story lines and they often get quite full-on. To show this through the use of editing the lighting changes in almost every scene, there are many cuts to show how fast things are happening and the colours change often because of the alien influences in the stories.
