GEK1049: ANALYSIS OF SUPERHEROES FILMS

Superheroes films are one of the most enduring genres of cinematic narratives and the success of these films in the box office is a testament to their increasing popularity in the 21st century. The aim of this project is to analyse the aspect of narratives that is featured commonly across superheroes films in terms of settings, characters, plots and events. To do this, we focused our attentions on five different superheroes films, The Incredibles, Batman, Spiderman, Captain America and the Powerpuff Girls. The second part of this project will showcase an originally created interactive narrative that is based on the formulaic structure that features commonly in the genre of superheroes films.
