Starwars is thee most successful sci-fi films of all time. The first film ‘A new hope’ came out in 1977. Produced with a budget of $11 million it made a $460 million in the United States and $337 million overseas. Sci-fi films seem to give away their genre very early on, during their opening.
The text that comes up within the first few seconds tells us its sci-fi ‘A long time ago in a galaxy far away’ tells us its about space and different universes. Even the title ‘Starwars’ tells us that this film is based around battles up in space. More lines within the first twenty seconds give more hints of the sci-fi storyline ‘It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base,’ The word spaceships clearly shows us that this is sci-fi. Within the first two minutes more visual information feeds us this is sci-fi such as the location being in space, planets also help show this. There are huge white (white connoting futuristic) spacships, shooting red lasers out of a cannon also highlights that this is a sci-fi genre of film. This is the first Starwars film so the bold iconic music is not yet recognisable, however, it is loud, dramatic and made by a orchestra and it flows and mixes with the visual elements of the movie perfectly.
