How film genres are changing and developing
- The very early Gothic films and moving images are mainly based around some sort of mutation or experiment gone wrong (eg. Frankenstein) and supernatural creatures that are appear spooky and horrific (Dracula) .
- New Gothic films aren't focused on the same aspect, films like Twilight or Final Destination aren't remotely scary but the still implement some degree of the original Gothic theme.
- Good vs Evil turned into people vs zombies, it's easier and a lot more acceptable to see zombies killed in large numbers as they're already dead therefore the genre is a lot more popular amongst the public compared to the traditional Gothic films.

- Hollywood at first used to have a lot of new ideas and films now they're using old films and either making remakes or creating spin-offs to films/shows that were successful in the past
- 2012 top 10 movies were all a part of some sort of large franchise
- Adaptions are also very popular amongst Hollywood, taking books or tv shows and turning them into movies (even video games such as Need for Speed)
MM50
- Sci-fi now is somewhat more real than ever before, the fictional scenery or props seem more plausible then what they used to be back a couple of decades ago, also the films feel and look a lot more real.
- Most sci-fi blockbusters were released in the 80's and now sequels are still being made (Star Wars)
- Sci-fi films are a more engaging due to the use of better technology that add realism to the films
