Television: Introduction to Science Fiction TV Drama

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

Class meets the conventions of a TV drama series because, it has characters such as aliens with super powers or laser guns etc.


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.

The different types of science-fiction genres I can find in Class is space (other planets), laboratories (or experimental props), Aliens (different species) & a post-apocalyptic (struggles to survive).


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

I think the trailer was based on thriller and action this is due to all the weapons as well as there being a lot of action and fights.4) Class is a spin-off from Doctor Who. At what point does the character of the Doctor appear in the trailer?

At 1:15 the doctor appears.
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 teenagers and above. This is because they are known to have a clearer understanding when a lot of action happens at the same time, unlike little kids.
