Science Fiction

The lesson of this week was a about a very popular and well-known genre: science fiction.

Bill show us one clip of a studio of San Francisco to demonstrate what kind of person is behind a great movie, a funny a modest one. Also he wants to show us his relationships in animation industry.

We check the difference between symbol, icon and index, this was quite boring, and it reminds me my psychology lessons in Spain. The concepts are the same in both fields.

Then we viewed one of the most famous fake photos of modern history, the tourist on the top of twin towers, then we view another from Iraq tortures, it still can produce a bad rough.  Probably they still worse things but who cares?

The session was full of scenes of alien creatures and other similar stuff originated in the past decades. As  Bill and Malcom later talked about this films, you can check easily they love them.

The conclusion of Bill was that science fiction is a genre full of intertextuality, like the saga of Stars Wars.
