More Genre research

 Dystopian 

Dystopian films contain specific characteristics like taking place in the future, or in a fictional society. The societies are divided by extreme social and “economic class differences, poverty, environmental devastation, and a loss of individuality.” The protagonist of these stories usually feels trapped or struggling to escape. They’re usually in a very difficult situation. Dystopian films include the hunger games, Divergent, What Happened to Monday, and The Maze Runner. Each story takes place in a different universe, but they all have one thing in common: their protagonist is dealing with a difficult situation that can be life or death and affects not only their life, but their communities, too. 

We took some inspiration from these films, when creating our world specifically from movies like What Happened to Monday, because they live in a society similar to the one in our story. The main character also has many siblings, but they all look the same whereas, in our story, our protagonist doesn’t know that he has siblings.

The world designed in their story is terrible like ours. The difference is that in our story the protagonist lives in a society where abnormal behavior is not tolerated and the villain is trying to create a perfect society where it is believed that the trauma will instill fear to be perfect in society.
