genreeeee and stuff

According to Wikipedia.com and ScifiDefinition.pdf, the genre of science fiction is a film involving any kind of science not fully accepted by mainstream science. Some science fiction movies express political and social issues at the time of production. Additionally, films in science fiction connect between real world and "supernatural" world. The "supernatural" world could literally mean a world where super natural beings exists or a world that different from the real world, such as utopias. Common motifs of science fiction films are voyages, expeditions, dystopias, and utopias.

    Transformers: An ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth,    with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager. (IMDB.com)

In the opening scene of the first transformers movie, they give background information to inform the viewers about the autobot's origin.  Additionally, they leave the audience in mystery towards the end of the opening to emphasize suspense.

Guardians of the galaxy: A group of intergalactic criminals are forced to work together to stop a fanatical warrior from taking control of the universe. (IMDB.com)

In the opening scene of Guardian of the Galaxy, they introduce the main character by giving Peter's background story. Additionally, they introduce the element of science fiction through the mom's description of the father, "he was an angle, composed out of pure light."

Drama film is a genre that connects to human emotion and involves dramatic elements, such as human struggle (thescriptlab.com). There are different sub-genres such as biography, melodrama, courtroom, ect. All of this are different situations where dramatic elements are implemented.

Accountant: As a math savant uncooks the books for a new client, the Treasury Department closes in on his activities and the body count starts to rise. (IMDB.com)

In the film opening of The Accountant, it alludes to conflict and leaves a sense of mystery behind as to what just happened? and how did he get there?

These elements and examples of science fiction and drama allow our group to figure out how most of these movies start, to emulate the right structure for the genre. For example, in the movies , Guardian of the Galaxy and Transformers, they both give background information to inform the audience of the situation in the movie. This makes me think that giving background information is a excellent idea for movies in science fiction and allow the plot line to flow fluidly.
