Introduction to Science-fiction TV drama: blog tasks

 1) How does Class meet the conventions of a TV drama series?

There is dramatic,jumpy scenes. Also,there is fast editing and also there is special effects;there is a lot of diversity and different sex genders as well.  

2) What conventions of the science-fiction genre can you find in the Class trailer? List as many as you can and use NCIS to help you.

I can find stuff like an alien that came from another planet,a lazer guns,demons,monsters,shadows and etc.

3) What other genres are suggested by the trailer (e.g. horror)? Is Class an example of a modern hybrid-genre show?

1 genre that is suggested by the trailer is fantasy. And this is because there are things like Monsters, shadows,aliens,beasts,and etc.Another genre that is suggested by the trailer is sci-fi. This is because there was a lazer gun shown in the trailer.The final genre shown in the trailer was drama.This is because the people in the show were going to school,there was a bit of romance and arguments.

4) Class is a spin-off from Doctor Who. At what point does the character of the Doctor appear in the trailer? 

The point when DR Who appeared in the trailer was at the end when he had the lazer gun in his hand trying to protect a girl from a monster that was attacking her.

5) Who do you think the target audience for Class is? Is this a typical target audience for the science-fiction genre? Give reasons for your answer.

I think the target audience for Class is a 15-18 year old and this is because there is a lot of jump scare scenes which will frighten anyone below the age of twelve and there is a lot of mature scenes such as sexual contact where people under the age of 15 will not be mature about.This is why i give Class is a 15-18 rating.
