As computer graphics are now replacing storyboards as a key preparation tool in the early phases of film production, synthetic previsualization ensures compliance to the director's vision while confirming the film's practical feasibility, a process taking place outside of the traditional constraints of the film set. Through an historical and structural context, the text explains how this new form of previsualization, while promoting effective management of existing risks, also contributes in creating new risks by its ability to represent with great visual accuracy the upcoming film.

Depuis l'émergence de la science-fiction au cinéma, ce genre s'est souvent démarqué de son équivalent littéraire grâce à deux spécificités majeures : l'utilisation abondante d'effets spéciaux et un accent marqué sur la représentation d'une iconographie futuriste. Ces éléments visent à subjuguer le spectateur par des effets visuels attirants et à éveiller en lui un « sense of wonder ». Cependant, des sous-courants de ce genre émergent graduellement et acquièrent une importance croissante, méritant une attention particulière et une réflexion approfondie. Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, afin de restreindre le champ de recherche, nous nous concentrerons uniquement sur une tendance spécifique et qui s'est affirmée de manière significative entre 2010 et 2015. Ces nouveaux films de science-fiction, principalement issus d'auteurs indépendants, se distinguent par une …

From «dangerousness» to «risk».The new preventive strategies were not developed by an extension of the previous assistance-oriented or repressive curative practices. They came about through a transformation of the targets : the notion of risk replaces the concrete subject of intervention with an abstract combination of factors designating statistical sets as «populations at risk», in accordance with the logic of probability rather than cause. This new approach to risk makes it possible to autonomize the administrative management of populations relative to interventions on the ground, to make expertise independent of care and to set the concern with screening and systematic surveillance before the concern for assistance and protection.

In this article, the author discusses the application of sections 45 and 46 of the Quebec Labour Code in the context of the trust deed, at each step of the realization by the trustee of its securitees, namely : the taking of possession of the mortgaged assets and the carrying on of the operations of the debtor company by the trustee, as well as the acquisition or the taking charge of the mortgaged assets by a third party from the trustee. The author's argument or reasoning is based upon the unity of the two prerequisites for the application of section 45, i.e. a change of employer and the alienation or operation by another of the undertaking. On the basis of this reasoning, section 45 applies to the trustee who takes possession only when he deliberately carries on the undertaking of the debtor company, whether it be in whole or in part, or even for a limited time, because only then should the trustee be considered a new employer. The application of section 45 to a third party dealing with the trustee is also certain when such third party carries on the undertaking that the trustee had himself carried on. But the situation is not as certain when the trustee has not himself carried on the undertaking after taking possession, and the author explains the reasons for his doubts. Finally, in view of the current state of the law and jurisprudence, the author suggests alternate ways for the trustee to deal with a third party in order to avoid the application of section 45.
