Coherence (2013)
This film is centered around a group of friends meeting up while I comet passes by Earth. This film is unlike the picture perfect Sci-fi films, rather than having space ships on Earth, most scenes take place in a house. Something that is very important to note for this film is that it is very low budget, and was improvised for the majority of it. That said, I really like the sci-fi aspects of this film. Rather than heavily relying on CGI, they made a sci-fi film in such a creative way.
This film, like the rest I analyzed do not have much of a sci-fi aspect at the beginning. For this movie specifically, they take the developing background route when it comes to the film. They do this by making the main character by in a phone call with her significant other, but then her phone breaks due to a comet passing by Earth.
I really like this movie, that’s partly why I chose it for my research. I like the overall aesthetic, and the theme of this film. I’ve always been captivated by the idea of alternate realities, and this film achieved it in such an amazing way. While they do not the usual genre conventions Sci-fi films usually have, what I want to take away from this is the
Companion (2025)
When the movie stars we are introduced to a young couple retelling the story of how they met for the first time, we are learning this through Iri’s perspective, the woman of the relationship. A voice over is used to further put the audience into her shoes, and when it comes to the end of her narration we found out that who she seems to be in love with is who she’s going to end up murdering. I believe developing her character was the best approach for this specific film, and that’s what they did. Making the viewer see the world through her eyes rather then some external entity.
Later in the movies we found out that Iri’s rather then organically falling in love with her partner she was programmed to fall in love with him. She’s a robot whose sole purpose in life is to fulfill the desires of her so called partner. Which at the end ends up being the reason he ends up 6ft under and she doesn’t.
This movie has such an unique and interesting aesthetic, very specific to this movie. I really wanna incorporate some of the aspects of it like the color grading, and sterile almost perfect looking ideal that this movie brings to life. I watched this film with almost no context and that’s what made it all more enjoyable, I want to bring that into my portfolio project.
Inception (2010)
Inception is a Sci-fi classic and for good reason too. Even though this movie did not come out too long ago, it has left a lasting mark on the Sci-fi world and film industry altogether. Brining a cast of absolutely amazing actors and a story so interesting and captivating, there is no wonder why this movie holds the spot that it holds among Sci-fi movies.
This movie follows Dom Cobb, a thief that steals information from people’s dreams. The movie’s main plot follows him and a group of thiefs trying to plant an idea on a high profile man, which if he succeeded would mean redemption for the main character.
The start of this movie takes place somewhere that is safe to assume that is in Asia or somewhere adjacent to it. We first meet the main character through dialogue with another man. In this film they clearly focus on developing the background, because without it the audience would be absolutely lost. The main component from this film that I want to take away is the amazing shots, and the creativity it took to make something like that. Specifically the scenes where setting is used to portray what’s happening internally to the characters.
