Evaluation 1; In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?



We used, developed and challenged the different thriller conventions in different ways. We did that in which to try and make our thriller interesting.
This is a screenshot of a piece of our video. We based this part on another Thriller called 'Harry Brown'. The image above is a screenshot of the clip we were inspired by. This is the subway scene where Harry has tied up a person from the gang that killed his friend to warn the others in the gang what he is capable of. Both of these characters are victims, meaning that they are protaganists of the story.

The Setting of our tied up scenes was set in a dark room, this dark room was a drama room, which provided lights to place spotlight our character and give more of a secluded effect. We also placed many pictures of our character behind her, to give the desired effect of obsession.    

We used music to create tension at the beginning as it was a slow spacious chime sound, making you wonder what is going to happen as it is as if it is a bomb/timer waiting to go off. I think that this could be parallel to the film or contrapuntal, depending on how you look at it and what clip it may be.

We attempted creating some graphic matches, as that was our plan at the beginning as the anamatic of our storyboard shows. However we did not use as many, I feel that the main graphic match that we have is not as good as it possibly could have been as of the transition and the positioning of the character.
