Imagery

Example from the text: Firefly. By Firefly being a television show everything about it is based on imagery. The time frame of the show takes place far into the future where humans have colonized to different worlds. The story is about a crew of about 6 people who are going through space and planets and basically trying to survive. The main plot of the story though is about a doctor and his sister who are crew members of the Serenity. The doctors sister in the beginning of the series had something done to her by the military and she can’t remember what; so her brother tries to find out what they did to her. By showing you spaceships and different worlds, Firefly is taking you on a futuristic sci fi journey of imagery.
 * Imagery**: Displaying images of certain events in your mind that do not exist in reality.

Example from the text: Silly Symphony. In Disney’s Silly Symphony, skeletons rise from the grave, but instead of haunting people, they dance. On top of dancing they play music with their own bones. While it impossible for skeletons to do this, it adds a different look to them.
