The history post apocalyptic and science fiction genres- Nicole Collins French

Research of a post apocalyptic, science fiction


Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction is a subgenre of science fiction, science fantasy or horror fiction. The apocalypse may be presented as a natural disaster such as: an earthquake, flood or war between humans or the apocalypse may be created by outside events such as: an alien invasion or a zombie-aocalypse, or the apocalypse could be man made sue to: break of viruses, experiments gone wrong or a medical disaster. Post apocalyptic is a sub-genre of science fiction and horror, which is made to scare people to think about the future and how it could posdsibly be like. People do not know what the future will bring us, therefore if a post apocalyptic film is made then that will frighten the audience and put them on their feet as they do not know if the world will end and or even when.






Apocalypse is a Greek word referring to 'the end of the world'. The firs post-apocalyptic film was made in 1936 which was callecd 'Things To Come'. 



Science Fiction
There is no litreral definiton of "science fiction"
Robert Scholes calles the history of science fiction, "the history of humanity's chnaging attitudes towards space and time...the history of our growing understanding of the universe and the position of our species in the universe."
Science fiction usually realtes arround a threat that could become possible, leading to a catastrophe to scare the demographic.
