2.  Earth boy, Peter Quill, is hunted down by intergalactic criminals after discovering a mysterious orb in another galaxy after being abducted by a spaceship. He then sets out to create a team of space heroes known as ' Guardians Of The Galaxy'.

3. The setting in the movie is linked to science fiction as there is a science lab that they are identified in, a war zone with hude bolders to protect them and also they get sent to an inhumane prison with abnormal people that carry futuristic weapons.

4. The characters used are linked to the science fiction genre because the features they have are not normal features that you would find on a human. they are lab made, not real and their behaviour isnt normal compared to humans, they act in a more violent way.

5. The narrative themes linked to the genre are dystopia, because the world that they live in is a frightening and abnormal place, mutation because the characters in the film are not human-like, they are mutated, they dont have normal features.

  1. WWW- You have made a good film choice and show a clear understanding of the conventions of the science fiction genre which is encouraging.

    EBI- You have not completely answered all the questions in the original brief. Your first sentence is unfinished! And you have not thought about target audience - look at the rating and also consider demographic and psychographic of audience.

    Learner Response- post a comment, please, where you finish off the bit about sub genre (other categories that this film fits into such as Superhero sub genre). Add the target audience part and you could consider adding some more detail about characters specifically. Why are CERTAIN characters indicative of sci fi? How do we know? Try and use media language in your response.
