Fantasy Genre

e




Aladdin is in the fantasy genre, we can tell because in the opening 5 minutes shows the use of  magic carpets a talking monkey and other unrealistic events.  the use of sound in the opening scene fits the location of being in a middle eastern desert and the lyrics links into what the film is about, e.g "hop a carpet and fly". the location is set straight away showing sand dunes and a desert snake which creates a spooky atmosphere and the fact that it is set in the night adds to this. the lighting is dark and gloomy (except the treasure) until the protagonist, aladdin, appears and then it brightens up.



in a fantasy we would expect it to have an unrealistic plot. we would expect the use of bright music and bright colours as it is a children's film. it would also be expected to use quite a few sound effects to provide sound for the impossible events. usually the setting and clothes used in a fantasy would be unfamiliar and over the top. until recently most fantasy films where animated because the special effects weren't good enough to create the action wanted e.g a flying carpet.
