In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
Our media product challenges forms and conventions of real media products by introducing many forms of conventions, these conventions are:
- Setting a scene/ establishing a a place- by showing the character in a deserted urban canal this emphasizes to the viewer that the character is vulnerable as the canal is filled with graffiti and has a very claustrophobic feel about it due to the view that the end of the canal is the only way out. Our character is shown to be resting at a magnificent landscape when he is attacked this creates suspense by the landscape as this emphasizes that he is in a safe zone, later on he is s
hown looking at the lake and we see someone behind him.
- Making the audience question what happens later in the movie- our product questions what happens later on the movie by not showing who is chasing him and why are they chasing him
- Edit- the way our product is edited glorifies the titles, the film was edited to slowdown when the titles appear this makes the titles noticeable by the viewers, lots of real media products use this technique, this is used to make the cast, directors, etc.. known by fans.
Sound- the sound in our product is fast paced which builds up the tension as the actor flees for his life through the canal. there is a loud church-bell sound every time the slow-motion and the titles appear on screen.
- The titles- the titles on our product are shown in white text with a bright red glow around every letter, the titles flicker across the screen making a scary scenario. the sound, edit and titles all contribute in making the titles appear affective in thrilling the audience.
