Question 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms ad conventions of real media products?

The third Convention I analysed is a high angle camera shot. This was used when you first saw the man up against the wall. This makes him seem like the victim in the film. It puts the audience on edge because they know he could be killed but they don't know at what point. This is conventional to a thriller film because by using a high angle camera shot it allows the audience to see what is around the area and what dangers there could be.

The final Convention that i analysed are the guns that were used. They was seen being used by Liam Neeson. Guns are conventional to a thriller film because they create a feel of danger and violence which is also conventional to a thriller. By using guns it makes you feel as though the man has no chance of living because if he breaks free which is unlikely he will just be shot by him anyway


One convention of a thriller we used was a female victim, This is conventional to a thriller because a female victim are deceived as being vulnerable and scared when out in a scary situation. in our film the girl is getting watched by a mysterious killer, and by the end of the clip she is attacked by him and was believed to be killed. During the clip we used a lot of close up shots on the Female to show how she was feeling and to see that she was scared by what was happening. 


We also used low key Lighting, which is conventional to a thriller because it creates suspense and and spookiness about the scene. If you was to film a clip in daytime it wouldn't be as scary for the viewers where as when you film it at night it keeps the viewers on edge as it is difficult to see the surroundings. We used this in our clip throughout especially when the victim discovers a shrine that to Killer had made. we used candles to light up the pictures and the rest of the surroundings were blacked out. 


We used iconography such as the candle and the picture of the villain,

  1. Your analysis of question 1, demonstrates minimal understanding of how your thriller sequence follows the codes and conventions. This is because you have only included two examples and have not discussed your reasons for including these conventions within your sequence.
