The Sequel Terminology Definitions
Separate But Sequel - A film that is produced with a different creative team from the original source material with intent to reiterate or reinvent the original property considerably for the purpose of film franchising.
Primary Film- The original film in a film franchise series.
Chronicle Sequel- A sequel film that continues the story of the primary film with its principle creative team.
Departure Sequel- A sequel film that is branded into a franchise but is either a clear departure or stemmed from a concept that was not the original property.
Spiritual Sequel- A film that is made that could be considered by some to be an unofficial sequel to a primary film but for legal or logical reasons is not considered it's actual sequel.
Relay Sequels- Sequel films that although continue the story of a primary film but the producers bring in a new creative team to tackle the material.
Replicate Sequel- A sequel film that pretty much recreates the situations from a primary film but with a new cast.
Spin off Sequel-A film that follows the adventures or exploits of a secondary character of an already established property.
Rehash Sequel-A sequel film that is made by the principle creative team but has taken a notable shift in tone or conception.
Cross media Sequel- A film that adapts a non-origin story of an already established property or creates new canon apart from the original source material.
Iconic characters- Characters that has an exceptionally extensive awareness in pop culture so much they have become iconic entities and can function in a story without affecting it's mythology.
Inconsequential stand alone film- A film that features an iconic character/s that are so iconic that mythology is inconsequential.
Selective canon Sequel- These sequel films tend to contextualize themselves into the universe of their franchise by establishing connections to some of the earlier films but ignore others.
Canonical sets- These sets within a broader franchise invite subsets of creative teams to tackle the material, commonly in trilogy sets.
