ILT SHOTS OF HOUSES as the lights go on and off and then slowly in the middle of this nightmarish morass of sight and sound the CAMERA STARTS TO PULL AWAY until once again we've reached the opening shot looking at the Maple Street sign from high above. THE CAMERA CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY. . . . If changed, which detail would change this from science fiction to fantasy fiction? lights going on and off in the houses as a result of electrical outages lights going on and off in the houses as a result of supernatural events people screaming and panicking because they glimpse a space shuttle people screaming and panicking because aliens begin attacking them
lights going on and off in the houses as a result of supernatural events
Explanation:
This would change the story from science fiction to fantasy fiction because of the addition of supernatural events to the story. While aliens currently belong to the realm of science fiction, supernatural events are not exactly science fiction as they are not based on science. As a result, any type of supernatural powers would be classified as fantasy fiction.
