Reboot, Prequel, Sequel research

Prequel:
A film made after the most recent, that sets up the story and is chronologically before it

Sequel:
A film made after the most recent that is a continuation of the story

Franchise:
A series of films

Reboot:
Revival of an old franchise

Terminator
Star wars
Star trek

All SciFi - action genre
All have dystopian futures (some sort of disruption
Same director (J.J.Abrams)
Iconic soundtrack - Identifiable, familiar, major franchise
Dystopian - Sci-fi action
Same director - J.J Abrams - Specializes, style - lens flares
Sequels - Continue narrative, characters: Consequences - Cause and Effect
All reboots - remade, new storyline - different actors
Hollywood recycle old ideas,are running out of ideas

Geeks - old fans, loyal = have kids, 2nd generation

Male Audience
St = 60s
Sw = 77
Term = 84

Due to piracy, they have to remake old films so people buy them.. Could be why indie films are rising

Task: creative artifact - script and 9 still scenes that are costumed, lit etc. Disruption or resolution scene. Make reboot, sequel, prequel. Need to prove conclusion.
