ABSTRACT
Audiences choose to view a film in the fantasy genre with expectations of journeying into a world out of the ordinary, one imagined and fully realized with components that transcend the known. Films in the fantasy genre explores the extraordinary and stuff of dreams; they take the audience into times and worlds that may be far beyond human possibility or just beyond the world as we know it. The screenwriter of the fantasy genre intends, in most cases, for the viewer to be astounded, amazed, and inspired by the ideas, possibilities and worlds of the fantasy narrative. The intent of the screenwriter may also be for the audience to ponder imagined civilizations that may reflect or comment on the ills or strengths of their own lives. The opportunity for the screenwriter to create an extraordinary world is one of the great perks of working in the fantasy genre.
