Genre: Sci-Fi / Thriller
Narrative: The 'hero' will be informed about the robots that look like ordinary people. He will then go of trying to track them down but is finding it very difficult. It will start to look like he might fail but will receive help from the 'love interest' and together will come through it at the end.
Iconography: The use of cities being used as the main setting to give the audience the sense that it is closer to home than they thought. Dark confined spaces used to show entrapment of the person and make it seem that there is no way out. Also the use of shadows to build tension a mystery while also getting the audience to guess what is going to happen.
Characters: The 'hero' is the main character and is the one who tries to save others by going after the villains. The helper/side kick is the character that will help the hero when he needs it most. (This is also sometimes a love interest for the hero). The villains are in this case the robot human lookalikes that are out to defeat the hero and put many of other in danger doing so.
Camera work: It would be common for the speed of shots to increase at times to increase tension just before something happens. It might also use panoramic shots to set the location of a large city.
Settings: It uses a busy city setting because it means that the robots are hard to find and also it means that the 'hero' has to be careful not to in danger innocent lives. Also a busy city is similar to a large section of the audience and would make them feel that there is a possibility of it happening near them.
