Research: Sci-fi

One of the options mentioned to us by our teacher was the idea of making the second part, the one after the fight scene, a sort of sci-fi type scene, where he is dead because of some supernatural, or weird phenomenon, but to the viewer, he is actually alive. This idea wasn't very liked by my other team member, but I thought it would be something interesting to research, and if I could come up with a good idea, I could influence or convince my groupmates to consider a sci-fi part of the film.

According to AMC Filmsight, "Science Fiction Films are usually scientific, visionary, comic-strip-like, and imaginative, and usually visualized through fanciful, imaginative settings, expert film production design, advanced technology gadgets (i.e., robots and spaceships), scientific developments, or by fantastic special effects. Sci-fi films are complete with heroes, distant planets, impossible quests, improbable settings, fantastic places, great dark and shadowy villains, futuristic technology and gizmos, and unknown and inexplicable forces." This means that for our film, we would have to create one or more of these aspects to be able to fully consider the film a sci-fi film; something that would be very hard to do, especially on our budget. 

Sci-fi films require a lot of special effects and a lot of post-production editing to reach the audience correctly. With Tomas' and Adriana's editing skills, this is completely possible, but it would most likely be very hard to get the real cinematic feel that we want to give to the movie.
